Purpose:
|
A rare case of asymptomatic external ophthalmomyiasis manifesting with corneal ulcer.
|
Methods:
|
A chronic corneal ulcer (herpetic like) accidentally diagnosed in superior cornea with three dead superior tarsal sub conjunctival larvaes.
After removal of dead larvaes ulcer improved within one week with topical antibiotic and frequent lubricant.
|
Results:
|
Ophthalmomyiasis can be a differential diagnosis for corneal ulcers.
|
Conclusion:
|
In conclusion although external ophthalmomyiasis usually manifests with ocular surface problems, this rare asymptomatic cases must be considered in a patient suffering from a chronic disease specially in rural areas. Posterior eyelid examination can be helpful in patients with corneal ulcer in endemic regions.
