What are the other retinal manifestations in patients with AIDS ?
· Toxoplasmosis retinochoroiditis - usually nasal to the disc, characterized by extensive whitish infarction and inflammation, with minimal associated intra-retinal haemorrhage (outer retinal involvement may show 'brush-fire' advancement of infection).
· Pneumocystis carinii choroiditis - characterized by scattered nodular yellowish-orange lesions deep in the retina, usually throughout the posterior pole.
· Acute retinal necrosis syndrome - with severe peripheral retinal infarction and retinal vasculitis. Atrophic retinal holes appear later in these areas.
· Progressive outer retinal necrosis syndrome - characterized by diffuse whitish opacification of the retina beneath the retinal vessels and a cherry-red spot in the fovea. It is associated with herpes zoster and the prognosis for visual acuity is dismal.
· Ocular presentations of syphilis include anterior and posterior uveitis, retinitis, retinal vasculitis and papillitis.
· Acute syphilitic posterior placoid chorioretinitis - large placoid yellowish lesions at the level of the retinal pigment epithelium in the posterior retina with inflam-mation of the vitreous and loss of vision.
