[Ocular lesions produced by the sting of Hymenoptera].

Abstract

The author reports on two clinical cases and discusses the possible pathogenic mechanisms of the ocular manifestations induced by Hymenoptera bites in the eye and around the eye. The ocular manifestations are polymorphous both clinically and pathogenically. The appearance of cornea manifestations following bites in the periocular region suggest a possible elective localization of the symptomatology. Various mechanisms may be involved: direct traumatic, toxic, allergic and certain local predisposing tissular factors.
