Subretinal Tracks in Ophthalmomyiasis

Successful Treatment of Ophthalmomyiasis Interna Posterior With Ivermectin

“…We elected systemic steroid therapy in addition to the antiparasitic therapy as several sources have indicated a possible exacerbation of uveitis on death of the larvae. 2 Because of the worsening clinical picture at the time when treatment with ivermectin was elected, we chose not to delay steroid therapy.…”

“…Ophthalmomyiasis interna posterior (OIP) is a rare condition in the United States. 2 In a 1997 literature review, Jakobs et al 3 found 22 cases of OIP reported in the United States since 1933. Since then, very few cases of OIP have been reported in the American literature.…”

Multifocal Choroiditis and Panuveitis Presenting With Progressive Equatorial Linear Streaks

“…8,9 However, most intraocular parasitic cases are unilateral and characterized by severe intraocular inflammation and/or endophthalmitis. Serologic testing is useful when considering such entities.…”

A case of anterior internal ophthalmomyiasis: case report

“…In most cases the larvae are found in the posterior segment (in the vitreous cavity or subretinal space). Clinical presentations include posterior uveitis, retinal detachment and retinal pigment epithelium changes (subretinal tracking) (4) . Anterior internal ophthalmomyiasis is less common than its posterior counterpart.…”
