Case report: A 58-year-old woman presented with 0.1 visual acuity in the left eye associated with a serous retinal detachment of the macula as the only ocular manifestation of cat scratch disease. This diagnosis was made by serum antibody titers and the clinical course. Discussion: Although uncommon, cat scratch disease should be considered in patients with a serous detachment in the macula region of the retina.

Palabras clave : Cat scratch disease; Bartonella henselae; serous detachment in the macula; erythema nodosum; lymphadenopathy.
