The Macula in Ocular Toxoplasmosis

Active ocular toxoplasmosis in Turkish patients: a report on 109 cases

“…Isolated anterior uveitis, reported by others [8,16], was not observed in this series. Most of our observations are consistent with the literature: retinal vasculitis is not typically occlusive; periphlebitis is more common and resolves more rapidly than periarteritis; remote lesions do not cause macular edema or papillitis; and IOP rise is transient [10,16,24,25]. The overall complication rate is low in the present series than in the series reported by Bosch-Driessen and associates [8].…”

Long-term control of choroidal neovascularization in quiescent congenital toxoplasma retinochoroiditis with photodynamic therapy: 4-year results

“…This condition can develop several years after the infection, even when the uveo-retinal inflammation is quiescent. Neovascularization typically arises close to the border of an old atrophic scar, producing visual loss and metamorphopsia [1]. The prevalence of CNV in ocular toxoplasmosis ranges from 0.3 to 19% in the different studies published to date [2][3][4].…”

Clinical Features and Prognosis in Ocular Toxoplasmosis

“…Fine et al 18 described three cases of choroidal neovascularization. Schlagel and Weber 19 reported one patient with toxoplasmic choroidal neovascularization. Optic atrophy and choroidal neovascular membrane were the most common complications in our study.…”
