Congenital toxoplasmosis is a rare intrauterine infection caused by acute infection of the mother during pregnancy. Congenital toxoplasmosis can present in a spectrum from a mild form to a level form including chorioretinitis, meningitis, hydrocephaly and intracranial calcification. Although the possibility of passing to the fetus is low in early pregnancy, the severity and sequela risk are high. Diagnosis depends on the demonstration of the parasites itself, its DNA extracts, or antibodies against the surface antigen of the parasites. Here we present two cases of congenital toxoplasmosis that did not have antenatal follow-up. The family of the first case arrived from Syria due to war and the mother did not receive any antenatal care because of poor living conditions after the forced migration. The second case was the fourth pregnancy of the mother who did not have any antenatal care.Finally, congenital toxoplasmosis is an insidious and fatal disease. Early treatment during pregnancy or the postnatal period has positive effects on the prognosis. Antenatal care is important in the diagnosis. We would like to emphasize the importance of informing both refugees and natives about antenatal care and the need to take preventive measures for refugees by the authorities
