Perilesional satellite dark dots in toxoplasmic retinochoroiditits as revealed by indocyanine green angiography

Purpose To analyze the indocyanine green angiographic aspects of toxoplasmic retinochoroiditis Methods: We performed fluorescein and indocyanine green angiography in 5 consecutive patients with toxoplasmic retinochoroiditis; three of the five patients had acute disease, while in the other two the disease-was inactive. Results: Indocyanine green angiography showed satellite dark dots in 2 of the 3 patients with acute toxoplasmic retinochoroiditis. These lesions were not visible in fluorescein angiography. In the third patient with acute toxoplasmic retinochoroiditis, primary chori- oretinal focus was juxtapapillary. None of the 2 patients in inactive phase showed similar features. Concluions: Indocyanine green angiography is useful to highlight the real extent of RP-choriocapillary complex involvement in the acute toxoplasmic retinochoroiditis. A different RPE-choriocapilllary complex response may be hypothesized based on the site of the primary lesion. CR: None Snppoft: Fondazione GB Bietti per L’Oftalmologia (GBB)
