Peripapillary subretinal neovascularization in peripheral uveitis.

D F Arkfeld, R J Brockhurst

    Retina (Philadelphia, Pa.)
    |January 1, 1985
    PubMed
    Summary

    Peripheral uveitis can cause serious eye conditions like disc edema and peripapillary subretinal neovascularization. This case highlights successful treatment using argon laser photocoagulation for this rare complication.

    Area of Science:

    • Ophthalmology
    • Medical Case Reports

    Background:

    • Peripheral uveitis is an inflammatory eye condition.
    • It can lead to various ocular complications affecting vision.

    Observation:

    • A 29-year-old female presented with peripheral uveitis.
    • She developed bilateral disc edema and unilateral peripapillary subretinal neovascularization.

    Findings:

    • Peripapillary subretinal neovascularization is a rare complication of peripheral uveitis.
    • Argon laser photocoagulation effectively treated the neovascularization in this patient.

    Implications:

    • This case expands the understanding of peripheral uveitis complications.
    • Argon laser photocoagulation is a viable treatment for peripapillary subretinal neovascularization secondary to uveitis.
