Tolerated cilium in the anterior chamber.
OBJECTIVE
To describe a patient with a tolerated cilium in the anterior chamber.


METHODS
A 15-year-old girl, referred with a 5-year trauma history, was examined. A cilium was noted in the anterior chamber without any inflammation during routine ophthalmological examination.


RESULTS
The cilium was removed surgically and the prognosis was excellent.


CONCLUSIONS
The decision to remove a cilium surgically is controversial and must be based on the individual clinical examination.
