Abstract:
Retinal vasculitis is a common finding and occurs in 10% - 83% of patients with sarcoidosis. In most cases, there are bilateral, peripheral and nonischemic periphlebitis. In contrast, periarterial involvement is rarely observed. We report a case of retinal vasculitis associated with sarcoidosis and its differential diagnosis. Sarcoidosis should not be excluded in case of periarteritis.
