The aim of this case report was to present extremely severe, ophthalmic complications in form of rare, congenital toxoplasmatic bilateral defect of eye-balls concomitant with advanced uveitis, microphthalmia and eye-multistructural developmental abnormalities leading to irreversible visual disability. The ocular diagnosis was confirmed in Ret-Cam II and ultrasonography and it was accompanied with congenital multiorgan lesions including hepato-splenomegaly, thrombocytopenia, leukomalacia, hydrocephalus and ventriculomegaly with neurological symptoms. Serology, PCR of cerebro-spinal fluid and cord blood confirmed the presence of congenital Toxoplasma gondii infection in the infant.

Hereby we present a case of a pregnancy in which careful dysmorphology of the fetus in subsequent sonographic evaluation resulted in detection of a very rare anomaly. It allowed explanation of the fetal phenotype, compared then with that of the newborn and estimation of genetic risk for the next pregnancies in this family.

Purpose: ROP--retinopathy of prematurity is a disease of the retina and the vitreous body of premature infants, especially born before 28 weeks of intrauterine life (71%), rare till 33 weeks of pregnancy (7.6%). The pathogenesis is involved with damage of immature vessels of the retina.

Synopsis of recent research by authors named "Jacek Patalan"

  • - Jacek Patalan's research focuses primarily on pediatric ophthalmology, particularly in relation to congenital conditions affecting infants, with an emphasis on severe ocular manifestations and their clinical implications.
  • - One significant case report highlights the severe ophthalmic complications resulting from congenital toxoplasmosis, demonstrating the link between ocular defects and broader congenital anomalies in infants.
  • - Additionally, Patalan has investigated the prenatal diagnosis of rare fetal anomalies, contributing to understanding genetic risks in subsequent pregnancies and emphasizing the importance of early detection in managing potential health issues.
