文摘

Ophthalmomyiasis interna posterior is a rare condition caused by the invasion of the ocular posterior segment by the larval form of certain flies in the order Diptera. The main clinical features are reduced visual acuity, intense posterior uveitis, and neuroretinitis. Treatment of this condition is predominantly surgical, including argon laser photocoagulation for subretinal larva and pars plana vitrectomy for intravitreal infection. We report a case of ophthalmomyiasis interna posterior in a 12-year-old girl that masqueraded as orbital cellulitis and was successfully treated with Nd:YAG laser photodisruption.
