چکیده
OCULAR manifestations of polyarteritis nodosa are well recognized. Changes in the choroidal, ciliary, orbital, and retinal vessels have all been described (Duke-Elder and Dobree, 1967). Hitherto, the retinopathy of this condition has been described on the basis of ophthalmoscopic and pathological appearances. The technique of fluorescein fundus photography is particularly well suited to the investigation of vascular retinopathies; its application in this case shows the changes in retinal vascular structure and function which characterize the condition.
