Abstract

We present a case of comeal bee sting with retained stinger apparatus. The patient suffered from pain, blurred vision, and epiphora. Visual acuity of the left eye was 1/10. The affected eye showed conjunctival hyperemia, keratitis, and infiltration oftheparacentral cornea by microscopic examination. The stinger was identified within the cornea infiltration and was removed surgically. Bee sting of the cornea, while very rare, has the potential to cause serious ophthalmologic injury.

Özet

Korneayı an sokması ile korneada arının iğnesinin kaldığı bir olguyu sunduk. Hastanın sol gözünde bulanık görme, ağrı ve sulanma şikayetleri mevcuttu. Hastanın sol gözünde görme keskinliği 1/10'du. Sol göz biomikroskobik muayenesinde, konjonktival kızarıklık ve kornea parasantralinde keratit ve infîltrasyon mevcuttu. Korneal infîltrasyonun içerisinde arının iğnesi mevcuttu. İğne cerrahi olarak çıkartıldı. Korneayı arı sokması çok nadir görülmekle birlikte ciddi oftalmik yaralanmaya neden olma potansiyeline sahiptir.
