TOXOPLASMIC RETINOCHOROIDITIS - NEW INSIGHTS PROVIDED BY INDOCYANINE GREEN ANGIOGRAPHY

PURPOSE: To analyze features of indocyanine green angiography associat ed with recurrent toxoplasmic retinochoroiditis, METHODS: Indocyanine green angiography was performed according to a standard protocol and c orrelated with clinical signs and fluorescein angiography in 12 eyes o f 12 consecutive patients with recurrent toxoplasmic retinochoroiditis . RESULTS: In 10 of 12 eyes with recurrent toxoplasmic retinochoroidit is, indocyanine green angiography showed multiple satellite dark dots not seen on fluorescein angiography or clinical examination of the fun dus, CONCLUSION: Indocyanine green angiography shows that recurrent to xoplasmic retinochoroiditis is more widespread than clinically visible lesions indicate, Indocyanine green angiography is useful in assessin g the extent of involvement of recurrent toxoplasmic retinochoroiditis and the evolution of lesions and might also provide insights into the pathophysiology of the disease.
