Integrated imaging in rare eyelid lesions: a case report of palpebral dirofilariosis

In this report we discussed an illustrative case of Dirofilaria infestation, an uncommon condition, and illustrate the benefits of an integrated approach to the care of ophthalmic lesions. Indeed, direct access to digitalized images of different modalities is beneficial in reducing delays, increasing accuracy, and is beneficial for prompt medical care and accurate diagnosis. The rising incidence and the possibility of serious complications, especially for the less frequent localizations more typical of species other than Dirofilaria repens, translates the need for a more widespread knowledge of these zoonoses.
