Can eyelashes migrate?

BACKGROUND: Intraocular cilia after penetrating injuries or surgery causing acute or subclinical inflammation are a well-known problem. In a healthy young patient with acute intraocular inflammation but no history of trauma the diagnosis may be missed initially. HISTORY AND SIGNS: A young farmer presented with severe eye pain, scleritis and a circumscribed chorioretinal and vitreous infiltrate. There was no history or evidence of eye trauma or systemic disease. THERAPY AND OUTCOME: Staphylococci were identified from vitreous material. During vitreous surgery an intraretinal cilium was found and removed. After intravitreal antibiotic treatment, the vision completely recovered. CONCLUSION: Acute intraocular inflammation should alert the ophthalmologist to consider an intraocular foreign body as a possible cause even if there is no history of trauma.

Leaf-shaped lesions of ocular fundus and white eyelashes in tuberous sclerosis.

A 5-year-old white girl with tuberous sclerosis had, in addition to bilateral retinal hamartomas, two hypopigmented leaf-shaped areas in the right fundus. These areas may be akin to the well known ash-leaf white cutaneous macules of tuberous sclerosis. Also, poliosis circumscripta was present in the left upper eyelid. Both findings may be rare associated signs of tuberous sclerosis.
