This study presents two young adults with Leber's stellate neuroretinitis, a rare condition causing vision loss. The idiopathic cases resolved spontaneously, highlighting the importance of excluding other causes and noting the generally favorable prognosis.

Area of Science:

Ophthalmology
Neuro-ophthalmology
Retinal Diseases

Background:

Leber's stellate neuroretinitis is a syndrome characterized by decreased visual acuity, papilledema, and macular star in young adults.
The exact cause (pathogeny) of this condition remains largely unknown.
It typically presents with a favorable prognosis.

Observation:

Two young adults presented with decreased visual acuity following a flu-like illness.
Ophthalmoscopy revealed papilledema and a macular star (lipid exudates).
Fluorescein angiography showed optic disc leakage but no macular vascular abnormalities.

Findings:

Unilateral centrocecal scotoma was detected via campimetry.
Infectious disease serological tests (Bartonella, Lyme, leptospirosis, toxocara) were negative.

Cranio-orbital imaging was normal, leading to an idiopathic diagnosis.

Implications:

Leber's stellate neuroretinitis is a diagnosis of exclusion, requiring differentiation from infectious, vascular, or demyelinating processes.
Idiopathic cases often have a favorable prognosis and may not require corticosteroid therapy.
Prompt diagnosis and management are crucial, especially when infectious etiologies are suspected.
