Encapsulated living worms due to periorbital dirofilariasis: detection with high-resolution sonography.

E M Danse1, P De Potter2.   

Abstract

Sonography (US) is commonly required when a superficial lump appears. We present the case of a patient for whom US was highly suggestive of living worms causing a recurrent periorbital mass. After surgery, the final diagnosis was a nodule composed of dirofilariasis larva.
