A rare intraocular parasite, Gnathostoma spinigerum, was successfully removed from a patient's eye. This case details the first scanning electron microscopic findings of this rare ocular infection.

Area of Science:

  • Ophthalmology
  • Parasitology
  • Veterinary Medicine

Background:

  • Intraocular gnathostomiasis is a rare parasitic infection affecting the eye.
  • Gnathostoma spinigerum larvae are known to cause visceral and ocular larva migrans.

Observation:

  • A 29-year-old woman presented with an intraocular parasite in the posterior vitreous near the optic disc.
  • The live organism was successfully removed via vitreous aspiration.

Findings:

  • The parasite was identified as an advanced-stage larva of Gnathostoma spinigerum.
  • This report includes the first scanning electron microscopic (SEM) findings of intraocular gnathostomiasis.
  • A review of nine previously reported cases of intraocular gnathostomiasis is presented.

Implications:

  • This case expands the understanding of ocular manifestations of Gnathostoma spinigerum.
  • SEM findings provide novel insights into the morphology of intraocular parasites.
  • Early diagnosis and surgical intervention are crucial for managing intraocular gnathostomiasis.
