| Abstract;We describe a case of toxocariasis and proliferative vitreoretinopathy that benefited from vitrectomy. The patient, a 29-year-old female with toxocariasis, developed a dense vitreous floater, vitreous traction bands with disc neovascularization associated with macular dragging, and visual obscuration in her right eye. Subsequently, the condition slowly worsened despite systemic steroids. Triamcinolone-assisted pars plana vitrectomy relieved the proliferative changes and the visual obscurations. Enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA) of toxocara titer from anterior chamber and vitreous fluid respectively showed 0.259 and 0.623 as mean absorbance. Proliferative vitreoretinopathy may develop as a complication of toxocariasis. Triamcinolone-assisted pars plana vitrectomy may be of benefit in such cases. (author abst.) |
