Figure 1 Multi-modality ophthalmic imaging (preoperation vs postoperation) from a case of ocular toxocariasis infection. (A) Preoperative ultra-widefield fundus color photography. Blue arrow: pre-retinal granulomatous tubercle; black arrows: subretinal fibrous bands; red arrow: white dot-shaped lesion. (B) Ultra-widefield fundus color photography 5 months after surgery. Blue arrow: pre-retinal granulomatous tubercle has increased, and new thick granulomas can be seen at the bottom (green arrow). Red arrow: white dot-shaped lesion has become larger, forming a thick granuloma. (C) Preoperative optical coherence tomography. Purple arrow: subretinal fluid accumulation beneath the macular center. (D) Optical coherence tomography 5 months after surgery. Purple arrow: subretinal fluid accumulation has been completely absorbed. (E) Preoperative ocular B-ultrasound. White arrow: the detached retina. (F) Ocular B-ultrasound 5 months after surgery. White arrow: retina reattached to the eyeball wall. Orange arrow: inflammation developed in the vitreous body.
