Presumed Toxoplasma Papillitis, Atypical Presentation, Diagnosis and Management: A Case Series in Indian Population
Abstract
Ocular Toxoplasmosis (OT) is a form of infectious posterior uveitis with wide prevalence ranging from 2 to 23%. OT typically presents as a white grey retinitis lesion adjacent to an old scar with associated vitritis, vasculitis which involves both retinal veins and arteries. Unusual presentation in the form of optic nerve involvement has been described in literature with prevalence ranging from 5% to 12 %. We describe three such cases of presumed toxoplasma related papillitis, clinical features, investigations and their management outcomes. To the best of our knowledge, this is a unique cases series and first to be described in Indian population.
