    This case report highlights a rare instance of Eales' disease mimicking sickle-cell retinopathy in a Ghanaian patient. Hemoglobin electrophoresis confirmed the diagnosis, differentiating it from sickle-cell disease.

    Area of Science:

    • Ophthalmology
    • Hematology
    • Pathology

    Background:

    • Sickle-cell disease and Eales' disease present with similar clinical manifestations in the eye.
    • Accurate diagnosis is crucial for appropriate management and prognosis.

    Observation:

    • A 38-year-old male patient from Ghana presented with ocular symptoms.
    • Clinical examination revealed signs that could be indicative of either sickle-cell retinopathy or Eales' disease.

    Findings:

    • Histopathologic examination of the globe provided detailed insights.
    • Hemoglobin electrophoresis was performed to determine the underlying hemoglobin type.
    • Results definitively excluded sickle-cell disease, pointing towards Eales' disease.

    Implications:

    • This case underscores the importance of considering differential diagnoses in ophthalmology, especially in diverse patient populations.
    • Diagnostic tools like hemoglobin electrophoresis are vital for distinguishing between conditions with overlapping clinical features.
    • Understanding these distinctions is key for targeted treatment strategies in retinal vascular diseases.
