Clinical examination revealed a retrolental membrane extending to the optic nerve, initially suggestive of PFV. Further investigation under anesthesia revealed a visually significant funnel-shaped vitreous cavity devoid of vascularity. Fluorescein angiography showed a peripheral avascular retina with leakage, suggesting a granulomatous lesion. Pars plana vitrectomy and lensectomy revealed a chorioretinal scar in the peripheral inferonasal retina. Serologic testing confirmed the diagnosis of ocular toxocariasis, with the presence of\n                    <jats:italic toggle=\"yes\">Toxocara<\/jats:italic>\n                    immunoglobulin G antibodies and peripheral eosinophilia.\n                    <jats:bold>Conclusions:<\/jats:bold>\n                    Ocular toxocariasis can mimic PFV in pediatric patients presenting with retrolental membranes.
