A clinical study of a case of toxoplasmic chorioretinitis was made with colour photographs and fluorescein angiography of the fundus during two recurrences. The patient had toxoplasmic chorioretinal scars in both eyes. A retinochoroidal vascular shunt was demonstrated in the perimacular scar of the left eye showing a recurrent satelite lesion adjacent to the macula at the age of 20 and a second recurrence 5 years and 3 months later. To prevent a possible new recurrence from destroying the macular area, a laser coagulation barrier was made between the chorioretinal lesion and the macula.
