Ocular siderosis caused by a subretinal iron foreign body masquerading as a blood clot: a case report
We experienced a case of a subretinal iron foreign body being mistaken for a blood clot. Even if the vision stays stable, ocular siderosis may occur over the long term if a subretinal iron foreign body remains. Therefore, surgical removal should be actively considered when a subretinal iron foreign body is suspected.
