Optical Coherence Tomography of a Subretinal Granuloma in Simultaneous Visceral and Ocular Larva Migrans

Abstract

OCT imaging may offer a practical means of locating and staging posterior pole lesions due to ocular toxocariasis.

<b><i>Toxocara</i></b> Optic Disc Granuloma: Deep Range Imaging Optical Coherence Tomography Findings

“…Our findings are in accordance with other publications. Several authors have shown that Toxocara granuloma is associated with vitreous opacities as a sign of inflammation and may induce vitreous traction, macular edema, and epiretinal membrane formation [5, 6, 7, 8, 9].…”

“…The response to systemic therapy was assessed using deep range imaging optical coherence tomography (DRI-OCT). To our knowledge there are few reports of DRI-OCT findings in OT and only two presenting this parasitic disease as a granuloma overlying the optic disc [5, 6, 7, 8, 9].…”
