Toxoplasma chorioretinitis

Toxoplasma chorioretinitis
There is an old oval shaped chorioretinal scar in the inferior half of the fovea (white arrow). Several spots of active inflammation are seen above it as indicated by the grayish-white coloration (yellow arrow). The lesions at 12 and 1 o'clock are new, the lesion at 2 o'clock is also active but shows some pigmentation as a sign of previous inflammation. A small intraretinal hemorrhage is seen within the 1 o'clock lesion. 12% of toxoplasma chorioretinitis is located within 5 degrees of the umbo.
