<i>Toxocara</i> Neuroretinitis Associated with Raw Meat Consumption

Abstract

Neuroretinitis characterized by optic disc edema and star-like exudates in the macula was detected in a patient who presented with sudden unilateral painless vision loss and had a history of raw meat consumption. The patient tested seropositive for <i>Toxocara</i>. Combination therapy with steroid and albendazole resulted in an increase in visual acuity and complete resolution of clinical signs.
