Optic neuropathy due to cat scratch disease is a relatively infrequent occurrence associated with macular star formation and is characterized by sudden painless loss of vision mostly unilateral. Bartonella henselae is well recognized as the etiologic agent in cat scratch disease. Ocular complications of the disease occur in up to 10% of patients and include neuroretinitis. Ocular bartonelosis is usually self-limited with complete or near-complete recovery of vision in otherwise healthy patients. A case of a boy with neuroretinitis caused by B. henselae is reported.
猫抓病所致视神经病变是一种相对罕见的情况，与黄斑星芒状渗出有关，其特征为大多为单侧性的突然无痛性视力丧失。汉赛巴尔通体被公认为是猫抓病的病原体。该疾病的眼部并发症发生率高达10%的患者，包括视神经视网膜炎。眼部巴尔通体病通常为自限性，在其他方面健康的患者中视力可完全或近乎完全恢复。本文报告了1例由汉赛巴尔通体引起视神经视网膜炎的男孩病例。
