we report a 32-year-old man with behçet’s disease who had simultaneous bilateral anterior uveitis, unilateral nodular scleritis and occlusive vasculitis with retinal hemorrhages at the same time. though scleritis is not considered within  the classical features of behçet’s disease behçet’s disease should be contemplated in the scleritis etiology.

background: the natural history of ocular lesions in behçet's disease is toward severe loss of vision/blindness in few years, whereas cytotoxic drugs have changed the outcome. several open labeled cohort studies showed pulse cyclophosphamide (pcp) to be the best choice. since one third of these patients are resistant to pcp it is important to know how much improvement one can expect from the re...

BACKGROUND Herpetic necrotizing retinitis is a well-recognized entity. A few cases of herpetic non-necrotizing retinitis were previously reported. FINDINGS We retrospectively report two cases of herpetic non-necrotizing retinopathy with a long follow-up. A 19-year-old woman presented with a bilateral diffuse occlusive retinal vasculitis, peripheral neovascularization, and no signs of retinal ...

A case of a 14 year-old boy that was admitted complaining of bilateral ocular visual blurring for 2 years is reported. The ophthalmological examination disclosed bilateral mild optic disc hyperemia and swelling, retinal exudation, few retinal hemorrhages, multiple aneurysms, as well as vasculitis. Fluorescein angiography showed extensive peripheral retinal ischemia, dilatations and hyperfluores...

Purpose: To report on a case of a patient with primary retinal vasculitis. Methods: Retrospective single case report. Patient: A 27-year-old female presented with decreased vision in her left eye for the past year. On exam, her visual acuity for the left eye was 20/50. She has had trouble accessing medical care but denies any illness, infections or trauma. Results: Upon ophthalmic examination, ...

CASE REPORT We present the case of a 69-year-old woman with unilateral retinal vasculitis. Investigations showed asthma, rhinosinusitis, nasal polyposis, peripheral blood eosinophilia, increased sedimentation rate, proteinuria, and antiphospholipid antibodies. Anti-neutrophil cytoplasmic antibodies (ANCA) were negative. DISCUSSION Although her anti-neutrophil cytoplasmatic antibody (ANCA) sta...

A 53-year-old woman had difficulty in walking, raised titres to human T-lymphotropic virus type 1 (HTLV-1) in serum and cerebrospinal fluid, and yellowish white retinal lesions and vasculitis in the right eye. Her 20-year-old son also had difficulty in walking, raised titres to HTLV-1 in serum and cerebrospinal fluid, and retinal vasculitis and multiple whitish vitreoretinal spots in both eyes.

The authors report a rare case of a 47-year-old woman with Crohn's disease (CD) who presented with retinal vasculitis and central retinal vein occlusion (CRVO) during remission. The patient complained of sudden painless visual loss in her left eye (OS). Ophthalmologic evaluation revealed a best corrected visual acuity (BCVA) of 20/20 in the right eye and hand movements in OS. Ophthalmoscopy and...

Ocular involvement after primary infection with varicella zoster virus is very rare. We report a case of a healthy 18-year-old man who presented with unilateral ischemic retinal vasculitis 10 days after the onset of chickenpox. He developed acute severe visual loss and a relative afferent pupillary defect in his right eye. Fundus imaging, optical coherence tomography, fundus fluorescence angiog...
