[Ophthalmomyiasis interna: two case studies].
Myiasis is a pathology caused by the presence of fly larvae in the human organism. Ophthalmomyiasis interna is characterized by the presence of the parasite within the eye but also in the eyelids and the orbit. Herein, the authors present the clinical cases of two patients presenting ophthalmomyiasis interna revealed by retinal detachment for the first patient and by panuveitis for the second patient. These two cases should make ophthalmologists aware of this rare disease that can effect patients living in direct contact with ovine races.
