Kahramanmaraş Sütçü İmam Üniversitesi Sağlık Uygulama ve Araştırma Hastanesi, Göz Hastalıkları, Onikişubat, Türkiye DOI : 10.37844/glauc.cat.2022.17.16 A 65-year-old female patient was treated with intravitreal ranibizumab and dexamethasone implant (Ozurdex) for right retinal vein branch occlusion. A transparent foreign body was detected in the anterior chamber 32 months after the last dexamethasone implant injection. With its tubular appearance, the foreign body was thought to be the silicone sheath residue in the eye during dexamethasone implant application. There was no additional pathological finding related to the anterior chamber of the patient. Although the active ingredient of the dexamethasone implant can dissolve in the eye, sometimes the silicone sheath may remain. The silicone sheath residue in the anterior chamber can be confused with the dislocated Descemet?s membrane in patients who have undergone cataract surgery.
