title: Ophthalmomyiasis with a singular subretinal track.
abstract: OBJECTIVE
  To report 3 cases of myiasis with a singular subretinal track in the Northeastern part of United States.
  
  
  METHODS
  Noninterventional case series.
  
  
  METHODS
  Three patients from Pennsylvania were referred for evaluation of a linear and serpiginous retinal scar. Funduscopic examination and fluorescein angiography were performed to assess the referred retinal lesion.
  
  
  RESULTS
  Funduscopic examination showed a singular subretinal track from the superior periphery to either the posterior pole or inferior midperiphery in the study cases. Fluorescein angiography showed exudative retinal detachment in all 3 cases. Laser photocoagulation of the subretinal worm was performed in all reported cases.
  
  
  CONCLUSIONS
  Our case series represents a report of singular subretinal tracks presumably caused by the warble fly larva in the Northeastern part of United States.
