RESUMO
O presente trabalho objetiva demonstrar provável relaço entre recorrência de toxoplasmose ocular e cirurgia refrativa (LASIK). Trata-se de relato de caso de um paciente de 33 anos de idade com recorrência de retinocoroidite toxoplásmica após cirurgia de LASIK. O exame fundoscópico do olho esquerdo revelou foco de retinocoroidite em atividade, satélite a cicatriz antiga de toxoplasmose ocular, 17 dias após cirurgia de LASIK. Os autores apresentam subsídios para o estabelecimento de relação causal entre LASIK e a reativação de retinocoroidite toxoplasmática.
ABSTRACT
The aim of this article is to demonstrate the probable relationship between the recurrence of toxoplasmic retinochoroiditis and refractive surgery (LASIK). The case consists in a toxoplasmic retinochoroditis recurrence observed in a 33-year-old patient after a LASIK surgery. Fundoscopy revealed a retinochoroiditis focus in activity in the left eye seventeen days after the surgery, adjacent to an old scar of ocular toxoplasmosis. The authors present findings that reinforce possible causal links between LASIK and the recurrence of toxoplasmic retinochoroiditis.
