case_images: Macular optical coherence tomography at first visit (a) and 4 weeks later (b) showing thinning retina, loss of external limiting membrane and ellipsoid zone, some subretinal hyper-reflective material clumping (white arrow) and hyper-reflective foci in superficial choroidal layer (green arrow); more subretinal hyper-reflective material clumping (red arrow) and hyper-reflective foci in superficial choroidal layer (blue arrow), respectively

case_images: Macular OCT showed hyper-reflective dots in the vitreous; thinning of the retina in the right eye, macular thickness of 176 mum, loss of the external limiting membrane and ellipsoid zone, some subretinal hyper-reflective material clumping, and some hyper-reflective foci in the superficial choroidal layer of the right eye [Figure 1a]. Macular OCT of the right eye showed loss of the external limiting membrane and ellipsoid zone, more subretinal hyper-reflective material clumping, and more hyper-reflective foci in the superficial choroidal layer [Figure 1b].
case_images: A 5-mm long fifth-stage larva/young male adult of Angiostrongylus cantonensis, in the vitreous cavity during pars plana vitrectomy (a) and in balance salt solution after removal from the eye (b) Microscopic examination showing the bursa of the body's posterior part (c)

case_images: A parasitologist identified the roundworm as A. cantonensis [Figure 2] on microscopic examination and polymerase chain reaction.
case_images: Color fundus photograph of the right eye after a parasite was removed, showing generalized retinal pigment alteration and subretinal white net at the macula area. Mild enlargement of cup-to-disc ratio
