To describe a case of bilateral facultative ophthalmomyiasis externa due to Calliphoridae in a 30-year-old male assault victim at a suburban hospital in New York and review the relevant literature.
An adult male was found to have maggot infestation of both eyes and severe secondary injury to the left cornea and ocular surface. He was treated with manual larvae removal, oral ivermectin, broad spectrum IV antibiotics, and topical antibiotics. Anterior segment reconstruction was required.
We report the first case of ophthalmomyiasis due to Calliphoridae in the United States and document the vision threatening potential of this rare condition. Timely examination by an ophthalmologist with early debridement may help prevent vision-threatening sequelae.
