Subretinal worm and repeat laser photocoagulation

Middle East Afr J Ophthalmol. 2010 Apr;17(2):183-5. doi: 10.4103/0974-9233.63072.

Abstract

Diffuse unilateral subacute neuroretinitis (DUSN) can be a diagnostic dilemma. Laser photocoagulation of the subretinal worm is an effective treatment for eradication. Early laser photocoagulation has been advocated. We report a case of a middle aged man who presented with decreased vision and a sub retinal macular worm that required two laser sessions for complete eradication of the worm.
