Abstract
PURPOSE: We studied an unusual ocular manifestation of cat scratch disease. METHODS: We examined a patient who had a serous retinal detachment of the macula with vision loss out of proportion to her retinal findings. RESULTS: The patient was found to have cat scratch disease by antibody titers. CONCLUSION: Cat scratch disease should be considered in patients with a serous neurosensory retinal detachment of the macula and a history of cat exposure or systemic signs or symptoms consistent with the disease.
