Ocular toxoplasmosis is characterized by focal coagulative retinal necrosis and granu­lomatous inflammation of the choroid near the site of infection in the retina. Leukocytic infiltration may be noted in areas adjacent to the affected retina, as well as disruption of the retinal pigment epithelium with accumula­tion of pigment in areas of ...

Multimodal imaging is useful in diagnosing and monitoring treatment response in PORT, an uncommon presentation of ocular toxoplasmosis that must be differentiated from white dot syndromes or other causes of unilateral retinitis.

Acute ocular toxoplasmosis manifests as a well-defined focus of retinal necrosis vitritis. Diffuse inflammation in the adjacent retinal and choroidal tissue may also be present. The involvement of the underlying choroid is termed “retinochoroiditis” and describes the clinical image.

Typical symptoms of active disease are floaters and blurred vision. Eye pain and redness if the patient has a secondary iritis. Clinical diagnosis. Clinical evaluation and diagnosis is the most important part of diagnosing toxoplasmosis retinitis. Diagnostic Evaluations

This article reports on punctate outer retinal layer toxoplasmosis, a subset of ocular toxoplasmosis characterized by grey-white lesions of deep retina and retinal pigment epithelium, and associated with little or no overlying vitreous reaction. Acute lesions may resolve and become fine punctate white dots.
