Abstract
Purpose:
We studied an unusual ocular manifestation of cat scratch disease.
Methods:
We examined a patient who had a serous retinal detachment of the macula with vision loss out of proportion to her retinal findings.
Results:
The patient was found to have cat scratch disease by antibody titers.
Conclusion:
Cat scratch disease should be considered in patients with a serous neurosensory retinal detachment of the macula and a history of cat exposure or systemic signs or symptoms consistent with the disease.
