  • Title: [Toxoplasmic retinochoroiditis: relapse vs choroidal neovascular membrane].
    Author: Cordero-Coma M, Pérez E, Calleja S, García Ruiz de Morales JM.
    Journal: Arch Soc Esp Oftalmol; 2010 Dec; 85(12):410-3. PubMed ID: 21354510.
    Abstract:
    CLINICAL CASE: We report four patients with both decreased visual acuity and retinochoroidal lesions compatible with ocular toxoplasmosis in which a diagnosis of active toxoplasmic retinochoroiditis or choroidal neovascular membrane was made based on a specifically designed diagnostic screening. DISCUSSION: In the context of a compatible clinical picture, with retinochoroidal scars and low grade or absence of inflammation, choroidal neovascular membranes may mimic active toxoplasmic retinochoroiditis and vice-versa. A thorough ophthalmic, serological, and immunological examination (in ocular fluids) may help in the differential diagnosis allowing for proper therapeutic decision-making.
