Abstract
We present a rare case of bilateral anterior uveitis in a 10-year-old patient, which revealed ocular toxocariasis. The patient complained of blurred vision and bilateral eye pain, and clinical examination showed the presence of synechia and incipient cataract. Serological tests confirmed that the patient was indeed infected with Toxocara. Treatment with local corticosteroids and anthelmintics resulted in significant improvement, highlighting the significance of considering toxocariasis in similar cases.
