Visceral Larva Migrans of the Eye

The diagnostic significance of immuno-diffusion test in atypical ocular toxocariasis

“…Wilder (21) first demonstrated the presence of nematode larvae in some eyes which were thought to be retinoblastomata. In addition, Nichols (13), Yoshioka (22), Ashton (1), Bird (4), Smith (16) and O'Conner (14) clearly found Toxocara canis in histological studies of suspected retinal tumors.…”

Ocular larva migrans: a case report.

“…One of these, the motile chorioretinal nematode, has been described following ophthalmoscopic visualization," and inferred from the discovery of a subretinal tube on histological examination of a presumed case of ocular toxocariasis. 4 We present a case of ocular toxocariasis in a 12-year-old boy which purports to demonstrate the intraocular motility of the toxocara larva and the nature of the various lesions caused by its passage. We relate the difficulty in achieving serological confirmation of ocular toxocariasis to peculiarities in the intraocular host-parasite relationship.…”
