Description

A 28 year-old patient with a history of right-eye leukocoria since the age of 15 with fibrogranulomatous lesion consistent with ocular toxocariasis. Early phase : Fluorescein angiography showed progressive filling of the retinal vasculature, with extensive hypofluorescence corresponding to the central mass, primarily due to blockage by the elevated fibrogranulomatous tissue. The retinal vessels were distorted and displaced around the lesion, with several appearing to be drawn toward or folded into it. Early hyperfluorescence was present along the granuloma margins, in some peripheral chorioretinal areas, and at the optic disc.
