To assess the potential visual benefit of intravitreal bevacizumab in a patient with macular edema from idiopathic retinal vasculitis, aneurysms, and neuroretinitis, an intravitreal injection of bevacizumab (1.25 mg) was given. Within 1 week, visual acuity improved from 20/60 to 20/30 and optical

A case of acute hemorrhagic edema in a 3-year-old boy is presented. Its cause, differential diagnosis, and relation to Schönlein-Henoch purpura are discussed. Acute hemorrhagic edema is an unusual variant of leukocytoclastic vasculitis.

Infantile acute hemorrhagic edema (IAHE) is a leukocytoclastic vasculitis that is confined to the skin without visceral involvement. Edema and purpuric lesions characterize the disease. The disorder has a dramatic onset, with a short, benign course and spontaneous resolution within several weeks.

OBJECTIVE To describe the findings and clinical course of a patient with scleromyxedema complicated by retinal vasculitis and macular edema. METHODS Interventional case report. RESULTS A 64-year old Caucasian woman with recently diagnosed, biopsy proven scleromyxedema presented with decreased visual

OBJECTIVE To report the efficacy of intravitreal bevacizumab, administered in a series of three monthly injections followed by a period of observation, in the treatment of cystoid macular edema because of occlusive vasculitis. METHODS This is a retrospective review of 13 consecutive eyes of 13

OBJECTIVE To report the efficacy of intravitreal bevacizumab injection in treatment of macular edema in a case of optic disc vasculitis. METHODS Retrospective case review. METHODS A patient diagnosed with macular edema due to optic disc vasculitis was treated with intravitreal bevacizumab

We report a case of a previously healthy 26-year-old female who developed severe persistent swelling of the subcutaneous tissues after immunization with hepatitis B vaccine. Ultimately, the patient was found to have a lymphocytic vasculitis of the muscle, and the vasculitis responded completely to

Systemic vasculitides can cause retinal vascular pathology, including cotton-wool spots, retinal hemorrhages, vascular occlusion, and capillary nonperfusion. Two main causes of visual decline include macular edema and retinal neovascularization. Presumably, both of these complications are caused by

During an outbreak of epidemic dropsy in Delhi, 233 patients were studied. Retinal changes including venous dilatation and tortuosity, haemorrhages and disc oedema were observed. A clinical picture compatible with type I optic disc vasculitis was seen in 13 eyes and that of type II in 3 eyes.

BACKGROUND To report a case of retinal vasculitis occurring after the placement of permanent tattoos. METHODS A 21-year-old male was referred to our department with impairment of visual acuity. Permanent tattoos covered the head, body, arms and legs. The patient was examined with ophthalmoscopy,

Early diagnosis of breast vasculitis (BV) is difficult because this condition is rare and occasionally mimics breast cancer clinically or radiologically. It may present as systemic disease or as an isolated lesion in the breast, without systemic evidence. When vasculitis appears in the breast, it
