Abstract

Three patients were admitted to our clinic with symptoms of conjunctivitis. On ocular examination, moving larvae were seen in the conjunctival sac. All of the larvae were immobilized by topical cyclopentolate and removed mechanically under topical anesthesia. The patients healed without any complications after the treatment. Physicians should consider ophthalmomyiasis externa in patients presenting with similar symptoms, especially in areas with high numbers of livestock. Otherwise the diagnosis can be missed.

Özet

Konjonktivit bulgusuyla kliniğimize başvuran üç hastanın yapılan oftalmolojik muayenesinde konjonktiva üzerinde hareketli larvalar görüldü ve siklopentolat yardımıyla hareketsiz hale getirilen larvalar topikal anestezi altında mekanik olarak temizlendi. Hastalar tedavi sonrasında komplikasyonsuz olarak iyileşti. Özellikle hayvancılığın yaygın olduğu bölgelerde benzer klinik tablo ile başvuran hastalarda oftalmomiyazis akılda tutulmalıdır. Aksi halde tanı atlanabilmektedir.
