At presentation, the best correct visual acuity of this eye was hand motion. Anterior segment examination was normal, but superior eyelid had a small laceration. At the fundoscopy was possible to see the foreign body in the superior nasal quadrant, so it was performed surgical exploration and pars plana vitrectomy.
