A rare case of bilateral optic disc neovascularization in a young woman is presented. Histopathology revealed inflammation and potential mollicute-like organisms, though the exact cause remains uncertain.

Area of Science:

  • Ophthalmology
  • Pathology

Background:

  • Bilateral acute neovascularization of the optic disc and peripapillary epiretina is a rare condition.
  • The etiology of this condition is often unknown.

Observation:

  • A previously healthy 26-year-old woman presented with bilateral acute neovascularization.
  • The clinical course, investigations, and treatment were meticulously documented.

Findings:

  • Histopathologic examination of epiretinal tissue from the second eye indicated an inflammatory disease.
  • Neutrophils showed intracytoplasmic inclusion bodies resembling mollicute-like organisms, suggesting a possible etiology.

Implications:

  • This case highlights a potential novel cause of optic disc neovascularization.

  • Further research is needed to confirm the role of mollicute-like organisms in this condition.
