Abstract

Toxocara canis usually affects children, and its ocular findings include posterior pole granuloma, endophthalmitis, and peripheral retinal granuloma. Late complications are subretinal exudates, funnel shaped retinal detachment, exudative retinitis, and peripheral retinal dialysis. In addition to these we report here a vitreous hemorrhage due to toxocariasis in a 49- year old- patient. We reported this case because we did not find any report involving vitreous hemorrhage due to ocular toxocariasis in literature.

Özet

Toxocara canis genellikle çocukları etkileyen ve posterior granulom, periferik retina granulomu ve endoftalmi gibi oküler bulgulara neden olabilen bir parazittir. Geç komplikasyonları subretinal eksüda, tünel şeklinde retina dekolmanı, eksüdatif retinit ve periferik retinal dializdir. Bu yazıda oküler toxocariazisin geç komplikasyonu olarak literatürde rastlamadığımız vitre hernorajisine sahip 49 yaşındaki bir olguyu sunuyoruz.
