Pediatric ocular injury secondary to a Burmese python bite.

We report the case of a 6-year-old girl with a penetrating ocular injury caused by a Burmese python. She received intravenous cefazolin before presenting and was treated thereafter with daily topical antibiotics and atropine. Six weeks after injury, she underwent cataract extraction and sulcus implantation of an intraocular lens and iris synechiolysis, with postoperative patching. Final visual outcome was excellent despite no globe repair was performed.
