Ophthalmomyiasis interna posterior: report of case caused by the reindeer warble fly larva and review of previous reported cases.

Abstract

A 13-year-old boy from northern Norway had a living reindeer warble fly larva in the vitreous and typical subretinal tracks in his right eye. The larva was removed alive and normal visual acuity was preserved. This is the first time the reindeer warble fly larva (Oedemagena tarandi) has been found to cause myiasis in man.
