What is Migrans Eye Larvae?

Eye larvae of migrane, also called eye toxocariasis, is an eye disease that occurs when the eye is attacked by the larvae of the species toxocara. Typical symptoms of this disease occur due to the inflammatory reaction of the body to the larvae. Granuloma is formed on the retina or optical disk, leading to visual damage, strabism and pain in one eye. Damage caused by this disease is often irreversible and treatment depends on whether the eye is the only influenced organ or the body has attacked the whole body. The presence of his larvae in the human body is caused by a disease called Larva Migrans. In the case of different organs, the disease is more specifically called visceral larva migrans (VLM). If the disease is limited to the eye, it is called the Migrans Eye Larva. Dogs often release the toxocara eggs in Thstolička Eir, which is then stored in the soil or other surfaces. With the accidental use of these eggs, they hatch like larvae in the small intestines, attack the intestinal mucosa and go to the liver portal system. From the liver can larvaeGo to the lungs, eyes, brain and heart by entering into circulation. The parasite life cycle is limited to the larval stage in humans, but this larvae phase induces an inflammatory reaction, leading to granuloma or abscess formation.

Eye larvae migrane includes larvae of larvae into the eye. Larval parasite can be limited to the retina or can be extended to a vitreous or choroid. If it enters through the central retina, it usually causes the formation of peripheral granuloma. If they enter the rear ciliary arteries, the granuloma is usually formed on macula or disk.

loss or loss of unilateral eyesight, one -sided -sorrow, red eye and strabismus are symptoms of eye larva migrans. After ophthalmoscopic examination, granuloma on an optical disk or retina is considered a white increased lesion with a size of approximately one diameter of the disk. Eye larva migrans complications include chronic endophtalmitis, front uveitiDu, chorioretinitis and papillitis. Other symptoms include cough, headache, abdominal pain, weakness and fever and may occur when it comes to organs than the eye. However, eye involvement rarely occurs together with system involvement.

The diagnosis of eye larvae Migrans involves exploring an optical disk and an interview concerning exposure to land, stools or dogs. The physician may apply for an antigen test called an enzyme-linked immunosorbent test (ELISA) to determine the toxocara antigen titers. Treatment of eye larvae Migrans is usually performed by corticosteroid injections periocular. Among patients who have a significant opacity of Vitreous or with a significant traction of retina may be a procedure called showcase. Systemic antihelminthic therapy, such as mebendazole, is not good for eye larvae migrants, as it can worsen inflammatory granulomatous reaction, leading to worse eye symptoms.
