It's a medical problem. According to Steadman's Medical Dictionary, which lists 97 different types of fiscula, a fiscula is any abnormally existing or artificial passage connecting organ to organ, organ to skin or skin to skin.

There are references to the "scleral entrance site." The "sclera" is the outer covering of the eyeball. "Trans" usually means "through" or "across." The "transvitreal route" is often mentioned, so that might mean through the lens, and through the vitreous...http://www.englishforums.com/English/LongestEnglishWords/2/bdwgj/Post.htm#491216Thu, 20 Mar 2008 21:20:33 GMT946f00bb-57d3-4b7b-a9a2-059b5341af52:491216anonymousWords What is the longest English word containing no letter more than once?
