[A live intraocular parasite (author's transl)].
Using the first film documentation of such a case, the differential diagnostic and therapeutic difficulties in a case of live intravitreal Filaria are discussed. The visual acuity of the affected eye was unimpaired. The parasite was destroyed by systemic anthelmintic therapy. The only functional damage to the eye was that the visual field was concentrically reduced to approximately 40 degrees.
