Retinal vasculitis associated with Crohn's disease.
نویسندگان
چکیده
Although systemic vasculitis can be a complication of inflammatory bowel disease at several locations (skin, eyes, brain, mesentery, and lung) the association of retinal vasculitis with Crohn's disease is rare. We studied a 26-year-old woman with biopsy-demonstrated Crohn's disease who developed a severe bilateral retinal arteritis and phlebitis, with acute loss of vision.

Because it is not well understood, the definition of “retinal vasculitis” is not w...
متن کاملIschemic Retinal Vasculitis and Its Management
Ischemic retinal vasculitis is an inflammation of retinal blood vessels associated with vascular occlusion and subsequent retinal hypoperfusion. It can cause visual loss secondary to macular ischemia, macular edema, and neovascularization leading to vitreous hemorrhage, fibrovascular proliferation, and tractional retinal detachment. Ischemic retinal vasculitis can be idiopathic or secondary to ...
متن کاملA point prevalence study of 150 patients with idiopathic retinal vasculitis: 2. Clinical relevance of antiretinal autoimmunity and circulating immune complexes.
This study describes the occurrence of antiretinal antibodies and circulating immune complexes in the sera of a large series of patients with idiopathic retinal vasculitis whose ophthalmological and clinical features are presented in Part 1. Antiretinal antibodies were measured by indirect immunofluorescence and passive haemagglutination, and circulating immune complexes were measured by polyet...
