Résumé
We report a case of an Angiostrongylus parasite in the corneal stroma in an 8-year-old boy and our technique for its removal. The parasite was identified on slit-lamp examination. Its location was confirmed on anterior segment optical coherence topography (AS-OCT). The parasite was found on the superficial corneal stroma in the periphery and was removed after lamellar dissection of the cornea following marking with trephine.
