چکیده
IRVAN syndrome is a rare disease characterized by retinal vasculitis, retinal aneurysms and neuroretinitis. Patients are usually asymptomatic at diagnosis but over time, proliferative changes, macular hard exudates, macular edema and retinal vascular occlusions can lead to severe vision loss. In this article we review the signs, symptoms, workup and treatment options of this disease.
