OPHTHALMOMYIASIS ASSOCIATED WITH FUCHS HETEROCHROMIC IRIDOCYCLITIS

摘要

Fuchs heterochromic iridocyclitis (FHI) accounts for a small but significant fraction of uveitis cases. Characterized by a chronic recurring course and potentially complicated by cataracts, vitreous opacities, and glaucoma, FHI may result in permanent visual loss. The exact etiology of FHI is unknown, but an immuno-logic mechanism has been suggested.Ophthalmomyiasis interna posterior occurs when fly larvae invade the intraocular space after deposition on the conjunctival surface, often inciting an inflammatory response. We report a unique case of FHI that likely developed after ophthalmomyiasis interna posterior.
