| الوصف: | A 38-year-old gentleman presented with bilateral ocular inflammation following fall of caterpillar hair. Examination revealed caterpillar hairs embedded in the palpebral conjunctiva, corneal abrasions, and anterior chamber reaction. The hairs were removed and topical antibiotics were initiated. Later, he presented with multiple scleral abscesses, retinal exudates, and sub-tenons fluid on B scan. The scleral abscesses were drained and treated with appropriate antibiotics and oral steroids. The abscesses and retinal exudates resolved with scleral thinning. This is the first report of ophthalmia nodosum presenting with scleral abscesses and panuveitis. |
