Abstract EN
Introduction: Neuroretinitis (NR) is considered to be an inflammatory condition which is characterized by optic disc edema and, as a result, formation of a macular star figure.
NR is an atypical presentation of toxoplasmosis infection, and such cases are quite rare.
Case Presentation: A 13-year-old girl presented with painless subacute visual loss in her right eye for a week at Khatam-Al-Anbia eye hospital in Mashhad, Iran.
Following comprehensive evaluation, a diagnosis of toxoplasmic NR was made.
The NR favorably responded to classic anti-toxoplasmosis treatment.
A juxtapapillary retinochoroidal scar appeared after disc swelling resolution.
Conclusions: Although toxoplasmosis NR is rare, it should be considered in the differential diagnoses of NR.
