Late complications are subretinal exudates, funnel shaped retinal detachment, exudative retinitis, and peripheral retinal dialysis. In addition to these we report here a vitreous hemorrhage due to toxocariasis in a 49- year old- patient. We reported this case because we did not find any report involving vitreous hemorrhage due to ocular toxocariasis in literature. Keywords : Ocular Toxocariasis, Vitreous Hemorrhage, Retinal Granuloma
