Abstract

Congenital toxoplasmosis and retinopathy of prematurity (ROP) are two devastating clinical entities of the newborn. There is little information in the literature about the interaction between congenital infections and retinal vascular development at the fetal stage, and none regarding the relationship between ROP and congenital toxoplasmosis. In this report, we present two premature newborns diagnosed with congenital toxoplasmosis with ocular involvement, accompanied by ROP with interrupted retinal vascularization, peripheral avascular regions, and retinal detachment. The aim of this paper is to emphasize the possibility of ROP and congenital toxoplasmosis coexistence wherein one condition may mask the other and make it difficult to distinguish the cause of retinal detachment. Timely management with medical and surgical treatment of congenital toxoplasmosis and ROP could save eyes and vision in those cases

Özet

Konjenital toksoplazmozis ve prematüre retinopatisi (ROP) yenidoğanın iki önemli oküler morbidite sebebi olup, literatürde konjenitalenfeksiyonlar ve fetal retinal damar gelişimi üzerine etkisine dair literatür verileri yetersizdir. ROP ve konjenital toksoplazmozis ilişkisinedair ise herhangi bir veri olmadığı dikkat çekmektedir. Bu çalışmada, oküler tutulumlu konjenital toksoplazmozis tanısı almış, eşlik edentamamlanmamış retinal damarlanma, periferik avasküler bölgeler ve retina dekolmanı ile ROP bulgularının eşlik ettiği iki prematüreolguyu sunuyoruz. Çalışmanın amacı, ROP ve konjenital toksoplazmozisin birbirlerini maskeleyebilen klinik görünüm ile eş zamanlıortaya çıkma olasılığı ve böyle gözlerde retina dekolmanının sebebinin ayırt edilmesindeki zorluğa dikkat çekmektir. Zira, göz vegörmenin korunmasında, konjenital toksoplazmozis ve ROP’nin erken tanısı ve doğru medikal ve cerrahi müdehale kritik önem arz eder
