RetinaCase report

Idiopathic retinal vasculitis, aneurysms, and neuroretinitis syndrome may be complicated by cilioretinal artery occlusion, resulting in poor final visual acuity despite reperfusion of the occluded artery.

Purpose

To describe a multimodal imaging and a 5-year follow-up of a case of cilioretinal artery occlusion in a 40-year-old woman with idiopathic retinal vasculitis, aneurysms, and neuroretinitis syndrome.

Methods

Fundus photography, indocyanine green and fluorescein angiography, optical coherence tomography (optical coherence tomography), optical coherence tomography angiography (OCT angiography), and a literature review of retinal artery occlusions associated with idiopathic retinal vasculitis, aneurysms, and neuroretinitis syndrome were performed.

More results

Fundus examination revealed bilateral blurred margins of the disks and perivascular hard exudates.

Fluorescein angiography demonstrated peripheral capillary nonperfusion areas in both eyes.

It also revealed an aberrant cilioretinal artery in the right eye.

More results

Best-corrected visual acuity remained stable, with no evidence of progression or development of neovascularization after a 5-year follow-up.

Conclusion · 1 of 2

Idiopathic retinal vasculitis, aneurysms, and neuroretinitis syndrome may be complicated by cilioretinal artery occlusion, resulting in poor final visual acuity despite reperfusion of the occluded artery.

Conclusion · 2 of 2

In such cases, multimodal imaging allows the identification of complications such as macular atrophy on optical coherence tomography and hypoperfusion areas that may not be detected on fluorescein angiography on OCT angiography.
