ABSTRACT
Ocular toxocariasis in human is a rare disease, which occurs by ingesting infective ova accidentally. Clinically, patients with ocular toxocariasis are divided into 3 groups group 1 consisted of those with diffuse destructive endophthalmitis, group 2 included those focal posterior pole granuloma, group 3 was made up of those with peripheral inflammatory masses in a relatively quiet eye. We experienced a 17 year-old female whose left eye exhibited a dense white elevated inflammatory mass over the macular area and connective-tissue strands extending from the mass to vitreous and surrounding retina. We report this case with a review of literature, but we couldn't get the aid of the ELISA test for antibody of Toxocara canis.
