“…Choroidal neovascularization may occur as a consequence of the retinal pigment epithelial disturbance leading to permanent severe loss of vision. Other features of UAIM may include vitreous cells, papillitis, punctate intraretinal hemorrhages, eccentric macular lesions, subretinal exudation, macular hole, and bilaterality [1][2][3][4][5][6][7][8][9][10][11][12][13]. Association with viral prodrome, pregnancy, human immunodeficiency virus, toxoplasmosis, and Coxsackie virus has been reported, but the pathophysiology of UAIM is not fully understood.…”

Transient electro-oculogram impairment in unilateral acute idiopathic maculopathy

et al. 2009

Unilateral acute idiopathic maculopathy (UAIM) is a rare distinct entity characterized by acute exudative maculopathy occurring in young persons. The purpose of this case study is to report transient electro-oculogram (EOG) impairment during the acute stage of UAIM. A 16-year-old healthy female with UAIM in the left eye underwent serial visual field, fluorescein angiography, indocyanine green angiography, full-field electroretinogram (ERG), and EOG. Initial visual acuity of the affected left eye was 4/200 with macular subretinal exudates. Indocyanine green angiography disclosed early phase foveal hypocyanescence persisting into late phase along with late phase foci of pinpoint hypocyanescence scattered in the macular and mid-peripheral regions. Standard full-field ERG responses performed 18 days after the onset of symptoms were normal. Standard EOG revealed a marked reduced light-peak to dark-trough amplitude ratio (Arden ratio) of 1.20 left eye (normal >or= 1.7) and a normal ratio of 2.24 right eye. Five weeks later, the left eye improved to 20/50, and the exudative maculopathy resolved with residual irregular foveal hyperpigmentation. Repeat EOG performed 69 days after onset of symptoms showed recovery and normalization of the EOG amplitude ratio of the left eye from 1.20 to 2.54. Transient EOG impairment with a normal full-field ERG may occur during the early stage of UAIM. This finding suggests a more widespread dysfunction of the retinal pigment epithelium in at least some cases of UAIM.

“…Viable T. gondii was isolated from 17%–29% of white-tailed deer hunted in the United States [7]. Women who assume traditional roles of food preparation can be exposed when handling the meat [8]; a social history should include the possible exposure to infected wild meat. Raw meat from US supermarkets, especially pork, may contain toxoplasma oocysts [7].…”

Sex and Reproduction in the Transmission of Infectious Uveitis

Current data permit only speculations regarding sex differences in the prevalence of infectious uveitis between women and men because uveitis case surveys do not uniformly report gender data. Differences in prevalence that are reported in the literature could relate to simple differences in the number of women and men at risk for infection or to biological differences between men and women. Compared to other types of uveitis, infectious uveitis may be directly related to occupational exposures or sexual behaviors, which differ between women and men, and may mask actual biological differences in susceptibility to ocular manifestations of the infection and its prognosis. In infectious uveitis for which there is no element of sexual transmission and data is available, prevalence of ocular disease is roughly equal between women and men. Women also have a unique relationship with infectious uveitis in their role as mothers. Vertical transmission of infections such as herpes simplex, toxoplasmosis, and cytomegalovirus can produce severe chorioretinitis in neonates.

Toxoplasma gondii koryoretinite sebep olabilen zorunlu intraselüler parazittir. Çoğunlukla kendine sınırlı bir hastalık olmasına rağmen optik sinir ya da maküla tutulumuna ve/veya ağır vitreus inflamasyonuna sekonder görme keskinliğini azaltabilir. Enfeksiyonun 'klasik' bulgusu pigmente koryoretinal skardır. Kenarında tüysü beyaz, nekrotizan retinokoroidit odağı görülebilir. Biz burada hızlı ve uygun bir tedavi sonucu anatomik ve fonksiyonel başarı elde ettiğimiz geniş seröz maküla dekolmanı ile komplike olmuş bir toksoplazma koyoretiniti olgusunu sunmayı amaçladık.
