摘要
Purpose: To describe a case of recurrent frosted branch angiitis after treatme nt of ocular toxoplasmosis. Methods: In a 6-year-old boy, we found perivascula r, creamy, patchy, retinal sheathing in both eyes without any focal necrotizing retinochoroiditis or scarring. IgM antibodies for toxoplasma gondii were also fo und. The patient was treated with antitoxoplasmosis medication and a systemic st eroid. Results: Several years after treatment of the toxoplasmosis, frosted bran ch angiitis occurred twice without any retinal scarring or serological evidence of toxoplasmosis. After systemic steroid therapy, the angiitis improved without further complications. Conclusions: Toxoplasmic retinal vasculitis should be con sidered as a cause of frosted branch angiitis.
