Rare presentation of ocular toxoplasmosis

Abstract

A 23 year-old white female presented to the emergency department with sudden visual loss in her left eye. Best-corrected visual acuity was 20/ 20 in the right eye and 20/400 in the left eye. Fundus examination showed unilateral papillitis, including optic nerve head edema, optic disc swelling and hemorrhages with a toxoplasma retinochoroiditis at the upper of the optic nerve head. This uncommon focal active toxoplasmosis chorioretinitis lesion that appeared to involve the optic nerve as well as juxtapapillary have been reported only rarely.
