Vitreoretinal traction and lamellar macular holes associated with cicatricial toxoplasmic retinochoroiditis: case series report.

Purpose: Inflammation due to retinal neuroepithelial necrotic granulomas of toxoplasmosis can extend to neighbor areas and may develop focal adhesions of the posterior hyaloid, to the surface vessels, and the margins or adjoining areas of retinochoroiditis plaques. These adhesions may develop vitreoretinal traction and retinal tears. Vitreoretinal traction may be macular (VMT) or extramacular depending on the location of the toxoplasmic plaques.

Peripheral retinal neovascularization in recurrent cicatricial toxoplasmic retinochoroiditis: case series report.

Purpose: To report cases of retinal neovascularization in association with cicatricial plaques of congenital recurrent toxoplasmic retinochoroiditis.

Methods: This was a retrospective review of retinologist records. Four cases found were documented with diagnostic techniques, mainly fluorescein angiography, optical coherence tomography and laboratory confirmation.
