J Comput Tomogr. 1987 Jan;11(1):99-101. doi: 10.1016/0149-936x(87)90042-7.

Abstract

Many lesions, termed pseudogliomas, may mimic the appearance of retinoblastoma, both clinically and on computed tomography. The appearance of Toxocara canis endophthalmitis on computed tomography is presented. The role of computed tomography in the evaluation of patients presenting with leukokoria is discussed.
