Abstract The report describes the case of an adult patient presenting a severe, serologically proven, Toxocara endophthalmitis, unresponsive to the common surgical and medical approach (vitrectomy, anti-parasitic treatment followed by high-dose corticosteroids). The association of oral cyclosporin A to a lower dose of prednisone was successful in achieving a long-term control of the ocular inflammation without systemic side effects.
