Toxoplasmic retinochoroiditis, an inflammatory eye disease caused by the parasite Toxoplasma gondii, manifests as focal necrotizing retinitis with features such as localized scarring, retinal edema, and optic nerve involvement.This report explores the case of a 49-year-old male experiencing progressive central vision loss in his right eye, initially diagnosed as a macular hole.Further results from spectral domain optical coherence tomography (SD-OCT), fluorescein angiography (FA), laboratory testing, and a comprehensive patient history suggested toxoplasmosis chorioretinitis.This case underscores the significance of a thorough history and diagnostics to accurately differentiate between macular holes and infectious etiologies.
