CORDERO-COMA, M.; PEREZ, E.; CALLEJA, S. e GARCIA RUIZ DE MORALES, J.M.. Toxoplasmic retinochoroiditis: relapse vs choroidal neovascular membrane. Arch Soc Esp Oftalmol [online]. 2010, vol.85, n.12, pp.410-413. ISSN 0365-6691.
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.
