Abstract
Ocular toxocariasis is recognized to be a cause of childhood blindness. It usually results as a sequel of systemic infestation with the second or third stage larva of T. cani (visceral larval migrans). It is an uncommon cause of uveitis that mainly affects younger patients. Inflammation is typically unilateral and presents as either a granuloma in the peripheral or posterior retina or a moderate to severe vitreous inflammation mimicking endophthalmitis. We report two cases of children with ocular toxocariasis with posterior granuloma, negative for specific serodiagnosis. An anterior chamber puncture of the anterior chamber and an ELISA test with homologous antigens of Toxocara canis on the acqueous humor made the diagnosis diagnosis.
