During intraocular surgery of a 44-year-old woman from Guilan Province in north Iran, a small flat parasite was removed from the anterior chamber angle of the left eye. According to morphological characterisation of the parasite, it was identified as Fasciola hepatica. The route of entry of the parasite was not identified. Meanwhile, stool and serology examinations of the patient for diagnosis of Fasciola infection were negative. In endemic areas of F. hepatica infection, ocular involvement should be considered in cases of uveitis, despite no other systemic involvement.
在对一名来自伊朗北部吉兰省的44岁女性进行眼内手术时，从左眼的前房角取出了一个扁平的小寄生虫。根据该寄生虫的形态特征，它被鉴定为肝片吸虫。寄生虫的进入途径尚未确定。与此同时，该患者用于诊断肝片吸虫感染的粪便和血清学检查均为阴性。在肝片吸虫感染的流行地区，尽管没有其他全身受累情况，但在葡萄膜炎病例中应考虑眼部受累。
