Ophthalmomyiasis interna caused severe intraocular inflammation and loss of vision in two eyes. In the first eye, the organism was found in the vitreous and created a severe uveitis; a second-stage larva of Hypoderma lineatum was later removed from the anterior chamber. Phthisis bulbi ensued with loss of all vision. In a second eye, a subretinal maggot was observed to produce tracks in the pigment epithelium, with subretinal and vitreous hemorrhage. Severe uveitis and traction retinal detachment later developed. Despite successful reattachment of the retina, visual acuity remained only light perception. These cases demonstrate that ophthalmomyiasis interna is not always a benign condition.
眼内蝇蛆病导致双眼严重的眼内炎症和视力丧失。在第一只眼中，病原体存在于玻璃体中，引发了严重的葡萄膜炎；随后从前房取出了一条纹皮蝇的二期幼虫。眼球痨随之发生，导致完全失明。在第二只眼中，观察到视网膜下有蛆虫，在色素上皮层产生了痕迹，并伴有视网膜下和玻璃体出血。后来发展为严重的葡萄膜炎和牵引性视网膜脱离。尽管视网膜成功复位，但视力仍仅存光感。这些病例表明，眼内蝇蛆病并非总是一种良性疾病。
