[Idiopathic retinal, vasculitis, aneurysms and neuroretinitis (IRVAN): case report]

Area of Science:

• Ophthalmology
• Vascular Medicine

Background:

• Idiopathic Retinal Vasculitis, Neuroretinitis, and Vasculitis (IRVAN) is a rare condition.
• Early diagnosis and treatment are crucial for preserving vision.

Observation:

• A 14-year-old male presented with bilateral visual blurring.
• Ophthalmological exam revealed optic disc hyperemia, swelling, retinal exudation, hemorrhages, aneurysms, and vasculitis.

Findings:

• Fluorescein angiography demonstrated peripheral retinal ischemia, vascular dilatations, and optic disc leakage.
• The patient was diagnosed with IRVAN, with no systemic abnormalities found.

Implications:

• Panretinal laser photocoagulation and oral prednisone were administered.
• Visual acuity was maintained after one year, highlighting the efficacy of early intervention.
