Toxocariasis of the optic disc.

Yong Joon Kim1, Chan Hee Moon, Jee Ho Chang.   

Abstract

A healthy 46-year-old man presented with decreased vision in the right eye after ingestion of raw meat. On funduscopic examination, a cystic lesion was found on an edematous right optic disc with adjacent serous retinal detachment. Optical coherence tomography confirmed a peripapillary serous retinal detachment and a well-demarcated cystic lesion (200 × 200 × 500 μm) in the right eye. The patient had moderate eosinophilia and was seropositive for anti-Toxocara IgG antibody. Diagnosed with ocular toxocariasis, he was treated with systemic corticosteroids and albendazole with improvement in vision and fundus appearance.
