To present a case of ocular sparoganosis presenting as itching sensation.
A 60-year-old woman presented for removal of an itchy subconjunctival mass in her left eye. Her ocular findings were normal, except for a subconjunctival mass (1.5 x 1.5 mm).
A parasite excised from the subconjunctival mass was identified as a sparganum, by microscopic examination after hematoxylin-eosin staining. The mummified parasite was identified as the plerocercoid phase of the sparganum, by microscopy.
Although rare, parasitic disease should be suspected in a palpable subconjunctival mass unresponsive to the medical treatment.
报告一例表现为瘙痒感的眼部裂头蚴病病例。
一名60岁女性因左眼结膜下瘙痒性肿物前来就诊,要求切除该肿物。除结膜下肿物(1.5×1.5毫米)外,其眼部检查结果均正常。
苏木精-伊红染色后经显微镜检查,从结膜下肿物中切除的寄生虫被鉴定为裂头蚴。通过显微镜检查,该干尸化寄生虫被鉴定为裂头蚴的裂头蚴期。
尽管罕见,但对于经药物治疗无反应的可触及结膜下肿物,应怀疑寄生虫病。
