Interventional cae report.

A patient with a exudative macular leion, diagnoed a ocular toxocariai, wa examined with optical coherence tomography (OCT) and angiography before and after ytemic corticoteroid and anthelminthic therapy.
Reult
In OCT image, the macular granuloma initially appeared a a highly reflective ma protruding above the retinal pigment epithelium and howed dye leakage by angiography. Pottherapy, the leion wa no longer exudative, wa le elevated, and wa covered by the retinal pigment epithelium. There wa reticular hyperfluorecence urrounded by a hypofluorecent rim in the angiogram.
