Congenital toxoplasmosis as one phenocopy of North Carolina Macular Dystrophy (NCMD/MCDR1).

ABSTRACT:

Purpose

To highlight the striking similarities between the lesions of congenital toxoplasmosis (CT) and North Carolina Macular Dystrophy (NCMD) using multimodal imaging including spectral domain optical coherence tomography (SD-OCT).

Observations

We are comparing a case report of CT compared to that of NCMD. The case of a 64-year-old man with a lifelong history of decreased vision OD from toxoplasmosis and new onset of central retinal vein occlusion OS. Color fundus photography, spectral domain optical coherence tomography (SD-OCT), and intravenous fluorescein angiography (IVFA) were used as diagnostic imaging tools to demonstrate the similarities and differences between CT and NCMD. In this case, unilateral CT demonstrated a large, excavated, coloboma-like chorioretinal les
