Purpose: To report a case of ocular dirofilariasis causing extensive chorio-retinal damage. Method: Surgical removal of the worm and identification of the same by microscopic examinationand polymerase chain reaction. Results: The worm was identified as Dirofilaria repens. Conclusion: Ocular dirofilariasis is an arthropod borne parasitic infestation affecting the subconjunctival tissue and anterior chamber. Vitreous involvement in Dirofilaria is very rare. Dirofilaria repens can cause extensive chorio-retinal damage resembling diffuse unilateralsubacute neuroretinitis. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR] |
