Two patients (a 37-year-old man and a 28-year-old woman) who had choroidal neovascular membrane (CNVM) secondary to inactive toxoplasma retinochoroiditis scarring were evaluated. Multimodal imaging including fluorescein angiography, optical coherence tomography (OCT), and OCT angiography (OCTA) was used. CNVM secondary to inactive toxoplasma retinochoroiditis scarring was detected. Representative images of CNVM were demonstrated in the outer retinal layer and choriocapillary layer on OCTA. OCTA, a relatively new technique, is useful in the diagnosis of the CNVMs secondary to retinochoroiditis. [Ophthalmic Surg Lasers Imaging Retina. 2017;48:509-511.].

Introduction: Ophthalmological conditions in international travelers may be associated with low mortality but high morbidity. Eye involvement in travelers is less frequently reported than febrile, gastrointestinal and respiratory infections, but data probably represent a degree of under-notification.
Methods: an extensive narrative review of the main viral, bacterial, fungal and parasitic infections affecting the eye in travelers was performed.

Article Synopsis
- Ocular toxoplasmosis, caused by the parasite Toxoplasma gondii, is the leading cause of posterior uveitis globally, affecting about 8.4% of people.
- Diagnosis primarily involves a clinical exam for signs of uveitis, particularly retinochoroiditis, with microbiological tests providing confirmation.
- There is ongoing debate regarding the necessity and approach to treatment for both acute cases and recurrent infections.
