Purpose:
Idiopathic retinal vasculitis, aneurysms and neuroretinitis is a rare vision-threatening condition. If untreated vision loss occurs due to complications of progressive retinal ischaemia including retinal neovascularisation, neovascular glaucoma and retinal exudation. Despite the proposed underlying inflammatory aetiology this condition demonstrates poor response to corticosteroid treatment. The aim was to describe two paediatric cases of idiopathic retinal vasculitis, aneurysms and neuroretinitis treated with infliximab.
Methods:
Two case reports.
Results:
Infliximab treatment led to resolution of aneurysmal dilatations and retinal vasculitis, and reversal of some retinal capillary non-perfusion.
Conclusion:
Early infliximab treatment should be considered in cases of idiopathic retinal vasculitis, aneurysms and neuroretinitis.

Inflammatory Bowel Disease II: Crohn's Disease
Inflammatory bowel disease, commonly known as IBD, refers to a collection of disorders that lead to persistent inflammation of the gastrointestinal tract. The two types of IBD are ulcerative colitis, which impacts the colon, and Crohn's disease, which can involve any part of the gastrointestinal segment.

Crohn's disease is a chronic, systemic inflammatory bowel disease (IBD) that predominantly affects the gastrointestinal tract. It is marked by...
