Spectral Optical Coherence Tomography Findings in Patients With Ocular Toxoplasmosis : a Retrospective Study

Ocular toxoplasmosis is the most common cause of infectious uveitis worldwide. The diagnosis of ocular toxoplasmosis is primarily clinical when it is a typical presentation .With an atypical presentation in the fundus, parasitological diagnosis is a decisive contribution, as well as multimodal imaging. We investigate on vitreal, retinal, and choroidal morphologic changes in active and scarred toxoplasmosis lesions using swept source optical coherence tomography.

Completed

Detailed Description

A retrospective analysis of patients diagnosed with ocular toxoplasmosis was conducted. The patients were examined at ophthalmology service of Farhat Hached Hospital in Sousse Tunisia between January 2002 and December 2017. Complete ophthalmologic examination and OCT were done at the initial visit and during follow-up.
