		The veteran's chorioretinitis is manifested by corrected visual acuity of 20/20.
		The diagnosis was mild residual of chorioretinitis with floating opacities.
		Because the chorioretinitis is not active and because the visual acuity is correctable to 20/25 on the left and 20/20 on the right, the veteran's disability does not warrant a compensable evaluation under the codes for diminished visual acuity or activity.

	Chorioretinitis - The Merck Veterinary Manual
		Chorioretinitis frequently is a manifestation of systemic infectious disease; it is important as both a convenient diagnostic clue and a prognosticator of visual function.
		Unless the lesions are generalized or involve the optic nerve, they often are “silent.” Scars may be differentiated from active lesions by the haze and ill-defined borders of the latter.
		Chorioretinitis may be present with canine distemper, systemic mycoses, protothecosis, toxoplasmosis, tuberculosis, bacterial septicemias, feline infectious peritonitis, thromboembolic meningoencephalitis, malignant catarrhal fever, classical swine fever, leptospirosis in horses, and onchocerciasis.

		Chorioretinitis is an inflammation of the choroid, a lining of the retina deep in the eye.
		Chorioretinitis may be caused by infection or by autoimmune disease including HIV/AIDS, syphilis, sarcoidosis, and tuberculosis.
		It is sometimes caused by an infection that you experienced when you were youngâ”symptoms of chorioretinitis may not appear for 10-20 years.

	Toxoplasmosis: Antenatal Screening and Current Prenatal Treatment
		Although the classical manifestations of congenital toxoplasmosis in infancy are a triad of hydrocephalus, brain calcifications and chorioretinitis, most symptomatic infants present with a combination of fever, microcephaly or hydrocephalus, hepatosplenomegaly, jaundice, chorioretinitis and seizures.
		Sequelae such as chorioretinitis, mental retardation, seizures and nerve palsies are common but they may be delayed, sometimes for years, the child being totally asymptomatic during the neonatal period.
		Chorioretinitis in particular may not occur before adolescence, which emphasises the importance of long-term follow-up for children with congenital toxoplasmosis.

		Chorioretinitis (CR) is an exudative inflammatory process involving the retina vessels and is usually the manifestation of congenital viral or protozoan infections in neonates.
		Chorioretinitis is a type of posterior uveitis, almost always affecting the retina; usually follows an active microbial invasion of the tissues by a causative organism which is rarely recovered (definite etiological diagnosis is seldom possible); generally classified as granulomatous.
		The onset may be in utero when caused by the Toxoplasma gondii, probably the most common cause.

		The congenital type is a result of intrauterine infection; the inflammatory process is more severe and is often bilateral; chorioretinitis is almost always present.
		The eye may not even be involved in the acute stage, but chorioretinitis may occur in the chronic form.
		Typically, the chorioretinitis progresses to a healed stage, leaving scars on the retina and choroid.

		Bilateral chorioretinitis with ischaemic maculopathy was responsible of the low vision and attributed to cryptococcal infection after vitreous puncture and isolation of yeast from the vitreous.

		Children that develop symptoms later are at risk for sensorineural hearing loss, chorioretinitis, and neurologic deficits (Grose et al., 1989).
		Recurrent infections may be associated with hearing loss (usually not bilateral), chorioretinitis, and perhaps other neurologic sequela but do not appear to increase the risk for mental retardation.
		Some of the features associated with congenital toxoplasmosis are: encephalitis, hydrocephalus, intracranial calcification, chorioretinitis, erythroblastosis, anemia, jaundice, hepatosplenomegaly, glomerulitis, myocarditis, and myositis.

		The classic triad of toxoplasmosis, chorioretinitis, hydrocephalus and intracranial calcification occurs in only a small proportion of symptomatic patients.
		Seizures, mental retardation, spasticity, and relapsing chorioretinitis are common long-term complications of congenital toxoplasmosis, even if not present at birth.

		Chorioretinitis most commonly occurs in patients with CD4 lymphocyte counts <50 cells/µL and accounts for 80% to 90% of CMV disease in patients with AIDS.(12) Common presenting symptoms include decreased visual acuity, the perception of floaters, or visual field loss.
		Syphilis, herpes simplex virus, varicella-zoster virus, and tuberculosis are other infections that may rarely involve the retina.
		A variety of systemically administered agents as well as local, intravitreal therapies have demonstrated efficacy in delaying time to progression of retinitis.
