title: [Solitary granuloma in ocular Toxocara-canis infection (Canine round worm)].
abstract: Two cases of Toxocara canis infection are reported. They presented a solitary granuloma at the posterior ocular pole. The eyes affected by parasites were practically blind. In the first case the condition was discovered accidentally on a pre-employment examination; in the second case, after a change of doctor - the previous diagnosis was toxoplasmosis. The latter mistake is very common in Toxocara infections. Our diagnoses were confirmed by Lamina's microprecipitation test. For treatment the Anthelminthinc 'Minzolum', or photocoagulation with steroid treatment can be used.
