35-year-old women presented with decreasing vision in the left eye with progressive central scotoma. Fundus examination revealed one focal area of chorioretinitis adjacent to one of multiple old pigmented retinal scars. The focal area of chorioretinitis involved the deep retinal layers and was associated with sub-retinal fluid and little overlying vitritis.

Above the optic nerve there was evidence of a Weiss ring. Not unusual since Toxoplasmosis chorioretinitis is a cause of a premature posterior vitreous detachment.
