Abstract
Clinical case

We report four patients with both decreased visual acuity and retinochoroidal lesions compatible with ocular toxoplasmosis in which a diagnosis of active toxoplasmic retinochoroiditis or choroidal neovascular membrane was made based on a specifically designed diagnostic screening.

Discussion

In the context of a compatible clinical picture, with retinochoroidal scars and low grade or absence of inflammation, choroidal neovascular membranes may mimic active toxoplasmic retinochoroiditis and vice-versa. A thorough ophthalmic, serological, and immunological examination (in ocular fluids) may help in the differential diagnosis allowing for proper therapeutic decision-making.

Resumen
Caso clínico

Se presentan cuatro casos de pacientes con deterioro de agudeza visual y lesiones retinocoroideas compatibles con toxoplasmosis ocular en los que el diagnóstico de retinocoroiditis toxoplásmica activa o membrana neovascular coroidea se basó en un cribaje diagnóstico específicamente diseñado para ello.

Discusión

En el contexto de un cuadro clínico compatible, con cicatrices coriorretinianas sugestivas e inflamación escasa o ausente, las membranas coroideas neovasculares pueden simular cuadros de retinocoroiditis toxoplásmica activa y viceversa. Un exhaustivo estudio oftalmológico, serológico e inmunológico (del humor acuoso) puede facilitar el diagnóstico, permitiendo una adecuada toma de decisión terapéutica.
