A two-year-old full-term boy with a history of an intermittent exotropia presented to the pediatric ophthalmology clinic for routine follow-up. He was found to have a stable sensorimotor examination however dilated funduscopic examination of the right eye was significant for a dim foveal reflex with a new discrete, white, elevated retinal lesion superotemporal to the fovea with surrounding subretinal exudates. An examination under anesthesia (EUA) was performed two days later that revealed a subretinal posterior pole granuloma with hyperfluorescence and late leakage from the lesion without telangiectatic vessels on fluorescein angiography. A repeat EUA one month later demonstrated an increase in surrounding subretinal and overlying intraretinal fluid. The patient was started on topical 1% prednisolone with a presumed diagnosis of Toxocara granuloma. At EUA, three months later, the subretinal and intraretinal fluid had resolved. The topical steroids were tapered, and the patient continues to be followed closely.
