Abstract
PURPOSE: To report a case of subfoveal choroidal neovascularization in a patient with toxoplasmic retinochoroiditis who underwent surgical excision. DESIGN: Interventional case report. METHODS: A 36-year-old woman with toxoplasmic retinochoroiditis presented with sudden dimness of vision and metamorphopsia in the left eye. The patient was examined with ophthalmoscopy and fluorescein angiography. RESULTS: Fundus examination and fluorescein angiography of the left eye revealed a subfoveal choroidal neovascularization. Pars plana vitrectomy with submacular surgery was performed, with a postoperative improvement of visual acuity and resolution of the distortion. CONCLUSIONS: This case report describes a case of subfoveal choroidal neovascularization associated with toxoplasmic retinochoroiditis that responded remarkably well to vitrectomy surgery.
