    Area of Science:

    • Ophthalmology
    • Retinal vascular diseases

    Background:

    • Eales' disease, or periphlebitis retinae, is an idiopathic retinal vasculitis.
    • It typically affects young adults and can lead to recurrent vitreous hemorrhage.

    Observation:

    • A young black male presented with bilateral vitreous hemorrhage.
    • The patient had Hb AA genotype, a strongly positive purified protein derivative (PPD) test, and a normal chest X-ray.

    Findings:

    • A diagnosis of Eales' disease was established.
    • The case demonstrated unusually rapid progression and disease severity.

    Implications:

    • This case underscores the need for prompt diagnosis and evaluation in suspected Eales' disease.
    • Timely intervention may be critical for preserving vision in severe cases.
