| Abstract | A case of Homonymous lateral quadranopsia revealing cerebral toxoplasmosis is reported in AIDS patient. Neuro-ophthalmologic manifestations must be explored by neuro-radiologic examination. Nuclear magnetic resonance would rather be performed than CT scan. Frequencies of cerebral and ocular toxoplasmosis localisations are compared. Severity of toxoplasmosis localisation justifies an early diagnosis based on immunological assay detecting the infection. Prophylactic treatment has to be instored. |
