Resumen

Se encontró un raro caso de un gusano ocular vivo Thelazia callipaeda en el humor vítreo después de una cirugía ocular. Fue necesario un segundo procedimiento para extirpar el parásito, lo que resalta sitios de infección inusuales.

Sus antecedentes:

Thelazia callipaeda, conocido como el gusano ocular, es un parásito nematodo.
Las infecciones oculares con T. callipaeda son poco comunes en humanos, y la mayoría de los casos involucran el saco conjuntival.

Conclusiones:

Este caso resalta el potencial de T. callipaeda para habitar sitios oculares inusuales, como el vítreo.
La evaluación preoperatoria exhaustiva es crucial para diagnosticar infecciones parasitarias raras.
Los oftalmólogos deben considerar etiologías parasitarias en inflamaciones intraoculares o alteraciones visuales inexplicables.

Palabras clave:

Infección intraocular Thelazia callipaeda

Glaucoma: Overview

Glaucoma: Overview

Glaucoma is an eye condition characterized by increased intraocular pressure that damages the retina and optic nerve, leading to irreversible blindness if left untreated. The human eye has various components, including the cornea, iris, pupil, lens, and optic nerve. Aqueous humor is secreted by the epithelium of the ciliary body in the posterior chamber and flows through the trabecular meshwork and canal of Schlemm, maintaining normal intraocular pressure. The trabecular meshwork and the canal...

Angle Closure Glaucoma: Treatment

Angle Closure Glaucoma: Treatment

Angle-closure glaucoma, or closed-angle glaucoma, is an eye condition where the iris bulges out and blocks the iridocorneal angle, resulting in a buildup of aqueous humor and increased intraocular pressure. Immediate medical attention is necessary due to the sudden onset of symptoms. The treatment for angle-closure glaucoma includes short-term and long-term approaches. Short-term treatment involves using eye drops like pilocarpine to lower intraocular pressure by increasing aqueous humor...

Open Angle Glaucoma: Treatment

Open Angle Glaucoma: Treatment

In open-angle glaucoma, the iridocorneal angle remains open, but the trabecular meshwork becomes stiff, slowing down the outflow of aqueous humor. This causes a buildup of aqueous humor in the anterior chamber, leading to a sudden increase in intraocular pressure. The treatment for open-angle glaucoma focuses on reducing the elevated intraocular pressure by either decreasing the secretion of aqueous humor or increasing its outflow.
Drugs such as carbonic anhydrase inhibitors, α2- and...
