Uveitis–glaucoma–edema (UGE): a clinical triad in un-treated helminth-associated severe anterior segment inflammation
Helminthic infestation of the anterior segment, although rare, may present as a distinct clinical entity characterized by uveitis, secondary glaucoma, and corneal edema. Early recognition of this triad can raise clinical suspicion. Controlled inflammation and IOP normalization, followed by non-traumatic surgical extraction, are key to favorable outcomes.
