    Description
    A blue autofluorescence image of an inactive well-demarcated chorioretinal scar involving the right optic nerve head secondary to ocular toxoplasmosis in a 65 year-old female patient. This scar dates back to 1971 without any recurrence. Although the scar is extensive, visual acuity was 6/6 but with a corresponding visual field defect.
