Abstract

A 8-year-old boy with redness and blurred vision in his right eye was applied. On his ophtalmological evaluation, visual acuity was counting fingers at 2 meters in the right eye and 4/10 in the left eye. There were posterior synechia, active vitreus cells and intravitreal band formation extending from papilla to the periphery in his right eye. Biomicroscobic and fundoscopic examination results were normal in the left eye. With a suspicion of ocular toxocariasis, oral prednisolon and mebendazol therapy was administered. During the six months period of follow up, improvement in the visual acuity of the right eye and shrinkage of the bant was observed.
