Abstract

Two retained cilia were detected in the left anterior chamber of a 13-year-old girl who complained of redness in her left eye and attended the out-patients clinic for routine eye examination. She had a penetrating eye trauma 45 days ago. The slit-lamp examination revealed no inflammatory findings in her eye. The foreign bodies were removed surgically. Histological examination confirmed the curvilinear foreign bodies as cilia. In the current case, we reported a girl with retained cilia in the anterior chamber and how we removed them.

Özet

Göz Hastalıkları Polikliniğimize sol gözünde kızarıklık nedeniyle rutin göz muayenesi için başvuran 13 yaşındaki bir kız çocuğunun sol ön kamarasında kalmış 2 adet kirpik tespit edildi. Hastanın hikayesinde 45 gün önce geçirilmiş penetran göz travması mevcuttu. Biyomikroskopik muayenede inflamasyon bulgusu saptanmadı. Ön kamaradaki yabancı cisimler cerrahi olarak çıkarıldı. Histolojik inceleme eğri cisimlerin kirpik olduğunu teyit etti. Bizler bu olgu sunumunda ön kamarasında 2 adet kirpik bulunan bir kız çocuğunu ve bunları nasıl çıkardığımızı bildirmekteyiz.
