Tolerated cilium in the anterior chamber

Sebnem Hanioglu Kargi et al. Ocul Immunol Inflamm. 2003 Mar.

Abstract

Purpose: To describe a patient with a tolerated cilium in the anterior chamber.

Methods: A 15-year-old girl, referred with a 5-year trauma history, was examined. A cilium was noted in the anterior chamber without any inflammation during routine ophthalmological examination.

Results: The cilium was removed surgically and the prognosis was excellent.

Conclusion: The decision to remove a cilium surgically is controversial and must be based on the individual clinical examination.
