Spectral optical coherence tomography findings in patients with ocular toxoplasmosis: A case series study.

ABSTRACT:

Purpose

Ocular toxoplasmosis is the most common cause of infectious uveitis worldwide. The diagnosis of ocular toxoplasmosis is primarily clinical when it is a typical presentation.With an atypical presentation in the fundus, parasitological diagnosis is a decisive contribution, as well as multimodal imaging. The aim of this study was to investigate vitreal, retinal, and choroidal morphologic changes in active and scarred toxoplasmosis lesions using swept source optical coherence tomography. To our knowledge, it is the first study in Tunisia which describes with precision the retinochoroidal lesions caused by Toxoplasma Gondi by means of the optical coherence tomography (OCT).

Methods

A retrospective analysis of fifteen patients diagnosed with ocular toxoplasmosis was
