Cat scratch disease can cause a macular hole, a serious complication affecting vision. This case report highlights the importance of recognizing this association in posterior segment disease.

Area of Science:

  • Ophthalmology
  • Infectious Diseases

Background:

  • Cat scratch disease (CSD) is a common zoonotic infection caused by Bartonella henselae.
  • Posterior segment complications of CSD, such as neuroretinitis, are well-documented.

Observation:

  • A 10-year-old girl presented with unilateral neuroretinitis secondary to CSD.
  • Ocular findings included neurosensory detachment and inflammatory foci in the macula.

Findings:

  • A macular hole developed 12 days after initial presentation.
  • Optical coherence tomography confirmed a full-thickness macular hole associated with partial posterior vitreous detachment.

Implications:

  • Macular hole formation is a potential posterior segment complication of CSD.
