TY - JOUR PY - 2011// TI - A Case of Delayed Oculocardiac Reflex Induced by an Intraorbital Foreign Body JO - Ophthalmic plastic and reconstructive surgery A1 - Yang, Hyun-Seung A1 - Oh, Dong-Eun SP - e2 EP - 4 VL - 27 IS - 1 N2 - A 56-year-old male presented with a history of left periorbital pain, nausea, vomiting, dyspnea, sweating, and pallor. His left eye was injured by a bomb explosion approximately 40 years ago. Evisceration was performed. There were no cardiopulmonary and gastroenterological findings except mild bradycardia (54/min). CT evaluation revealed a 4-cm-sized, sharp, metallic, intraorbital foreign body in the left orbit. After the removal of the foreign body, the symptoms completely resolved with a normal heart rate (69/min). The authors present a case of delayed oculocardiac reflex induced by an old intraorbital foreign body.
