Occlusive Retinal Vasculitis With Neovascularization Associated With Multiple Sclerosis
Abstract
A 25-year-old woman went to the eye casualty as an emergency for bilateral blurred vision. Slit lamp examination revealed bilateral
granulomatous panuveitis, with cyclitic membrane in the anterior chamber and intense cataract. Spectral-domain optical coherence
tomography (SD-OCT) presented bilateral serous retinal detach- ment and numerous cells in the vitreous. (Figure 1). Blood samples, thorax scanner and a cerebral magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) were prescribed to find a possible etiology. Oph- thalmoscopy and intravenous fluorescein angiography revealed vitritis, papillitis, occlusive retinal vasculitis on both eyes and an inactive neovessel in a large ischemic area
