purpose: to report an idiopathic retinal vasculitis, aneurysm, neuroretinitis (irvan) case treated with one session of panretinal photocoagulation (prp) and intravitreal bevacizumab (avastin) case report: a 13-year-old boy was diagnosed as an irvan syndrome. systemic examination, fundus angiography, brain mri were performed to evaluate the patient. treatment with one session of prp, retinopexy ...

purpose: to report a case of idiopathic retinal vasculitis, aneurysm, and retinitis [irvan] with angiographic and optical coherence tomography (oct) findings. case report: a 15-year-old girl with a 2 -month history of decreased visual acuity in both eyes and best corrected visual acuity of 20/70 in both eyes was referred to the retina clinic. mild inflammation was present in anterior chamber an...

The idiopathic retinitis, vasculitis, aneurysms and neuroretinitis syndrome is a rare retinal vascular disorder characterized by multiple leaking aneurysmal dilations, retinal vasculitis, neuroretinitis and peripheral vascular ischemia. Visual loss mainly occurs due to the development of retinal neovascularization and/or exudative maculopathy. Although the treatment of choice has not yet been e...

AIMS To determine whether patients with idiopathic retinal vasculitis have altered production of cortisol and dehydroepiandrosterone sulphate (DHEA-S), and whether differences in these variables occur between those who are sensitive (SS) and resistant (SR) to steroids. METHODS 20 patients with retinal vasculitis (off treatment) and 10 control subjects were prospectively recruited. Morning cor...

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...

PURPOSE To describe an unusual case of idiopathic retinal vasculitis, aneurysms, and neuroretinitis syndrome associated with a positive perinuclear antineutrophil cytoplasmic antibody test. METHODS This is an interventional case report. A 22-year-old man with decreased vision underwent ophthalmoscopic, angiographic, and laboratory evaluation. The left eye underwent laser therapy due to circin...

To assess the potential visual benefit of intravitreal bevacizumab in a patient with macular edema from idiopathic retinal vasculitis, aneurysms, and neuroretinitis, an intravitreal injection of bevacizumab (1.25 mg) was given. Within 1 week, visual acuity improved from 20/60 to 20/30 and optical coherence tomography demonstrated resolution of macular edema. There was no adverse effect. The mac...

This paper describes the ophthalmological features of 150 patients with idiopathic retinal vasculitis, 67 of whom had isolated retinal vasculitis (RV) and 83 had RV associated with systemic inflammatory disease (RV + SID). The diagnosis of retinal vasculitis was made by ophthalmoscopy and fluorescein angiography, and patients with any identifiable cause (infection, ischaemia, or malignancy) wer...
