Abstract
Live intraocular nematode is a rare occurrence. Parasites of different sizes and several species of nematodes have been reported as the aetiology of Diffuse unilateral subacute neuroretinitis (DUSN). Various treatment modalities have been reported by authors for the cure of DUSN. In the present case, a middle aged man presented with complaints of sudden diminution of vision in the left eye. Anterior segment examination showed signs of inflammation. Fundus examination showed the presence of live subretinal nematode and multiple chorioretinal lesions. The patient received oral anti helminthic and tapering dose of oral steroids along with photocoagulation with diode green laser. On following up after 1 week the patient’s visual acuity had improved to 6/6.
