Abstract

Toxoplasma Gondii is the leading cause of acute acquired and congenital ocular infections which potentially lead to blindness. While in congenital infections the rate of posterior pole lesion is 90%, it is only 1-2 % in acquired infections and posterior uveitis is frequently seen with vitritis. The patient who applied to our clinic with posterior uveitis and vitritis was recognized as acquired ocular toxoplasmosis and treated medically.
