Ophthalmomyiasis interna
M. C. Ziemianski, K. Lee and F. N. Sabates
A 15-year-old boy was seen initially with decreased vision in his left eye.
Ophthalmoscopic examination showed numerous pigmented subretinal tracts
with traction lines radiating to the fovea. Peripheral examination
disclosed a maggot in the superior nasal quadrant of the vitreous. There
was a hemorrhage emerging from the exit wound in the retina. Removal of the
maggot was not indicated because there was no inflammation.
