Abstract
The paper presents a case report of retinal detachment as a late complication in a 43-year-old patient, initially hospitalized in 2013 due to a penetrating injury to the right eye with the presence of an intraocular foreign body. The paper summarizes complications of posterior segment intraocular foreign body injuries, their diagnostics and discusses their potential clinical significance.
