Presence of positive IgM for toxoplasmosis. Laboratory results, papillary optical coherence tomography and characteristics of the fibers of the optic nerve are shown. After treatment for toxoplasma was started, significant clinical improvement was obtained from the patient, verified with images of the fundus.
