Objetivo: Describir los hallazgos clínicos y tomográficos de un caso con toxoplasmosis ocular atípica. Caso clínico: Varón de 32 años que inició con disminución de la agudeza visual en el ojo izquierdo, con edema papilar y vítreo transparente, sin estrella macular. Presencia de IgM positiva para toxoplasmosis. Se muestran resultados de laboratorio, tomografía de coherencia óptica papilar y características de las fibras del nervio óptico. Una vez iniciado el tratamiento por toxoplasma, se obtuvo una mejoría clínica significativa, verificada con imágenes del fondo de ojo. Conclusiones: El edema papilar por toxoplasmosis con vítreo transparente es poco frecuente en la práctica. Sin embargo, es un cuadro que debe tenerse en cuenta en el diagnóstico diferencial como una presentación atípica de la toxoplasmosis ocular.
Purpose:The aim of the study was to describe the clinical and tomographic findings of a case with atypical ocular toxoplasmosis. Observations: This is the case of a 32-year-old patient who presented with decreased visual acuity in the left eye, papillary edema, and transparent vitreous without a macular star positive IgM test for toxoplasmosis. Laboratory test results, papillary OCT, and the characteristics of optic nerve fibers are shown. After Toxoplasma gondii was treated, significant clinical improvement was seen in the patient that was confirmed on the images of the eye fundus. Conclusions: Papillary edema due to toxoplasmosis with clean vitreous is not a common finding in the routine clinical practice. However, it should be taken into account while performing differential diagnosis as an atypical presentation of ocular toxoplasmosis.
