Report of a Case of Macular Retinopathy Caused by Invasion of the Retina by a Worm

James A. Price, Jr., MD; Joseph A. C. Wadsworth, MD

Arch Ophthalmol. 1970;83(6):768-770.

Abstract
A small, white roundworm was found in the macula of a 43-year-old white man. During a three-year period of observation, progressive destruction of this left macula occurred. The right macula had been destroyed eight years previously by an obscure chorioretinitis. The worm disappeared after three years.
