Abstract
Toxoplasma gondii is an obligate intracellular parasite, which can cause chorioretinitis. Although it is usually a selflimited disease, it may reduce vision secondary to the optic nerve or macular involvement and/or severe vitreous inflammation. The ‘classic’ sign of the infection is pigmented chorioretinal scar. The fluffy white nidus of the necrotizing retinochoroiditis can be seen adjacent to it. Here, we aimed to present a toxoplasmic chorioretinitis case complicated with a large serous macular detachment that we achieved anatomical and functional success as a result of prompt and suitable therapy

Abstract
Toxoplasma gondii koryoretinite sebep olabilen zorunlu intraselüler parazittir. Çoğunlukla kendine sınırlı bir hastalık olmasına rağmen optik sinir ya da maküla tutulumuna ve/veya ağır vitreus inflamasyonuna sekonder görme keskinliğini azaltabilir. Enfeksiyonun ‘klasik’ bulgusu pigmente koryoretinal skardır. Kenarında tüysü beyaz, nekrotizan retinokoroidit odağı görülebilir. Biz burada hızlı ve uygun bir tedavi sonucu anatomik ve fonksiyonel başarı elde ettiğimiz geniş seröz maküla dekolmanı ile komplike olmuş bir toksoplazma koyoretiniti olgusunu sunmayı amaçladık
