Abstract

Mebendazole (Vermox; Johnson & Johnson Inc, New Brunswick, NJ) is an effective antiparasite drug used for the treatment of Oxyurus vermicularis infections (oxyuriasis).1 Although theoretically considered as a well-tolerated drug with few adverse effects, we report a unique case of transient ciliochoroidal effusion that occurred in temporal association with mebendazole therapy.
