Abstract
Dirofilariasis in deep tissue plane is seldom reported in literature. A 58 year old woman presented with right orbital abscess complicating ethmoid sinusitis. She underwent endoscopic ethmoidectomy with abscess drainage where a dirofilaria worm was extracted. Treatment requires surgical removal of the worm without the need for anti-parasitic medications.
期刊介绍:
Particulate Science and Technology, an interdisciplinary journal, publishes papers on both fundamental and applied science and technology related to particles and particle systems in size scales from nanometers to millimeters. The journal''s primary focus is to report emerging technologies and advances in different fields of engineering, energy, biomaterials, and pharmaceutical science involving particles, and to bring institutional researchers closer to professionals in industries.
Particulate Science and Technology invites articles reporting original contributions and review papers, in particular critical reviews, that are relevant and timely to the emerging and growing fields of particle and powder technology.
