Abstract
Metallic implants or prostheses can be potentially hazardous during magnetic resonance (MR) imaging because of movement or dislodgment of the foreign object. Magnetic eye implants have been reported to exhibit strong movement when placed in water and exposed to a field of 1.5 T. The authors report a case of orbital implant extrusion possibly caused by the movement of a magnetic orbital implant during MR imaging at 0.5 T.
