Pars plana vitrectomy and subretinal surgery for ocular toxocariasis

The clinical course of ocular toxocariasis and the chronological developmen t of peripheral retinal and macular granulomas are reported. Removing the e piretinal as well as subretinal component of the granuloma via pars plana v itrectomy and retinotomy techniques yielded an excellent clinical result. C linicopathologic correlation of the specimen confirmed the diagnosis with h istological evidence of degenerated larval structures in granulomatous infl ammation.
