Severe fundus lesions induced by ocular jellyfish stings: A case report.

BACKGROUND: Globally, although the jellyfish population has increased in recent years, ocular jellyfish stings remain an uncommon ophthalmic emergency, and have been rarely reported. According to a few previous reports, ocular jellyfish stings may cause anterior segment disorders, and most of these injuries were self-limited and spontaneously resolved within 24 to 48 h. CASE
SUMMARY: A brother and sister both presented with severe fundus complications several years after ocular jellyfish stings and both had prolonged blurred vision. To our knowledge, such fundus lesions induced by jellyfish stings have not been reported previously.
CONCLUSION: The fundus status of patients following ocular jellyfish stings should be carefully monitored in cases of irreversible ocular damage. ©The Author(s) 2020. Published by Baishideng Publishing Group Inc. All rights reserved.
