Acute multifocal hemorrhagic retinal vasculitis is a disorder of abrupt onset, of unilateral or bilateral visual loss associated with mild anterior uveitis multifocal retinal vasculitis, retinal hemorrhage, retinal capiHary nonperfusion,papillitis, vitritis. After the onset of the disease, recurrent episode of intraocular inflammation, vasculitis, and visual loss ate commonly seen associated with the late complications of secondary vitreous hemorrhage, neovascular glaucoma, and epiretinal membrane formation. In 1988, Blumenkranz and associates were the first to report 7 cases of this disease in America. The mode of presentation, associated symptoms, and fundus findings are suggestive of herpes class virus infection, although the etiology remains unknown. We experienced a case of acute multifocal hemorrhagic retinal vasculitis associated with multifocal retinal vasculitis, retinal hemorrhage and neovascu lar complications. |
