Presentation
METHODS: A 44-year-old Indian man diagnosed with autoimmune hemolytic anemia presented with a 1-week history of blurred vision in both eyes. Fundus biomicroscopy revealed bilateral peripheral retinal venous sheathing and cellophane maculopathy. [ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]

The authors believe that impairment of retinal venous outflow secondary to optic neuritis is a distinct but a rare presentation. [ojoonline.org]
Retinal vasculitis is inflammation of the vascular branches of the retinal artery, caused either by primary ocular disease processes, or as a specific presentation of any systemic form of vasculitis such as Behçet's disease, sarcoidosis, multiple sclerosis [en.wikipedia.org]
Symptoms Presenting symptoms in BRVO depend on the site and severity of occlusion. Sudden painless loss of vision is the commonest presentation. [ghrnet.org]
Entire Body System
- Renal Artery Stenosis
Poor peripheral circulation, splenic infarction, embolism venous, venous thrombosis, hypertensive crisis, renal artery stenosis. [tr-ex.me]
Eyes
- Retinal Lesion
Retinal lesions without any other associated ocular or orbital disease are unusual. [5] [6] [7] [8] [9] Our patient had multiple retinal vascular occlusions, superficial retinal haemorrhages, soft exudates, telengiectatic changes, and pallor of the optic [ijo.in]
External-beam radiation may be applied to lesions of the optic nerve or orbit. [reviewofoptometry.com]
Stock 18 and Gilbert 19 have shown acid fast bacilli in the peripheral retinal lesion and perivascular sheaths in eyes with primary phlebitis. [nature.com]
Fundus examination was remarkable for pale, ovoid lesions most prominent nasal to the optic disc. There was mild retinal vasculitis and an epiretinal membrane. Mild increased retinal thickness was evident on OCT. [asrs.org]
Workup
If the patient's workup suggests an underlying systemic cause, then further examinations and laboratory tests should be performed. [symbiosisonlinepublishing.com]
Thorough Ocular and Systemic Evaluation The workup of patients with retinal vasculitis necessitates suspicion for a wide variety of systemic infectious and inflammatory diseases (Table 10.1 ). [entokey.com]
TREATMENT After an initial workup establishes a noninfectious etiology, the mainstay of treatment is the timely and judicious use of topical corticosteroids. [glaucomatoday.com]
Cerebrovascular disease seems to be the most associated finding seen in SLE patients with Hughes’ retinopathy, 14 and proper neurological workup should be taken into consideration. [reviewofophthalmology.com]
Therefore, it can be postulated that IRVAN occurs as an extended spectrum of ocular tuberculosis, especially in tuberculosis-endemic areas. 6, 40, 41 Systemic workup has revealed a positive serum test for perinuclear antineutrophil cytoplasmic antibodies [dovepress.com]
Treatment
Oral treatment with ciprofloxacine healed the phlebitis and the neuroretinitis, with a residual optic disk pallor. This case exemplifies the diversitiy of ocular manifestations of this disease. [scielo.isciii.es]

Conclusions : After 7 years of follow up, intravitreal Bevacizumab appears to be safe for treatment for Retinopathy of Prematurity, with treatable ocular adverse events. [iovs.arvojournals.org]
On final examination 6.5 months after treatment, UCVA had returned to 20/20 in both eyes. [healio.com]
Prognosis
- prognosis is determined by the amount of initial capillary non-perfusion - if papillophlebitis is initially non-ischemic, then prognosis is good - optimal treatment has yet to be determined - it is unclear whether or not anticoagulant therapy improves [sites.google.com]
Prognosis is determined by the amount of initial capillary non-perfusion. If papillophlebitis is initially non-ischemic, then prognosis is good. Fortunately, the vast majority of cases will be non-ischemic. [medicalstudy.blogspot.com]
Although, prognosis of SLE has improved with newer treatments, long-term prognosis remains poor [ 97 ]. Spondyloarthropathies: They are a group of disorders featuring HLA-B27 positivity and enthesitis [ 98 ]. [omicsonline.org]

In contrast, SLE associated vaso-occlusive disease characterized by widespread capillary non-perfusion of the retina ( See Figure 3 ) has been associated with a worse visual prognosis. [reviewofophthalmology.com]
Etiology
Laboratory test Appropriate laboratory investigations aid in establishing the etiology for retinal vasculitis. [eyewiki.aao.org]
- Lonn and Hoyt agreed with this etiology, but felt that "papillophlebitis" was a more appropriate descriptive term - Hart and co-workers, however, pointed out that an inflammatory etiology for this disease is tenuous, and no well-documented cases have [sites.google.com]
The etiology was undetermined and she was sent on to Neurology to be worked up for multiple sclerosis which can be associated with this condition. [webeye.ophth.uiowa.edu]
Infectious etiologies include Bartonella henselae, toxoplasmosis, syphilis, Lyme disease, and herpes zoster and simplex. [healio.com]
TREATMENT After an initial workup establishes a noninfectious etiology, the mainstay of treatment is the timely and judicious use of topical corticosteroids. [glaucomatoday.com]
Epidemiology
Epidemiology Frequency United States Central retinal vein occlusion Most patients with CRVO are older than 65 years. Most cases are unilateral, with approximately 6%-14% of cases bilateral. [emedicine.medscape.com]
It is also important to be aware of the epidemiology of posterior uveitis in a given patient population and practice setting. [retinalphysician.com]
Of course, with small number of patients and without a matched control group, any description of epidemiologic features is preliminary. [doctorlib.info]
Epidemiology of retinal vein occlusion RVO is a common cause of vision loss in United Kingdom. [3] There is no prevalence or incidence data from England or Wales. [kjophthal.com]
Involvement of retinal veins due to inflammation is termed as phlebitis whereas retinal arteriolar involvement is termed as arteriolitis.[6] Epidemiology Retinal vasculitis may be associated with a variety of clinical conditions. [eyewiki.aao.org]

Pathophysiology - essentially a central retinal vein occlusion (CRVO) occurring in a young, healthy patient - aka: Big Blind Spot Syndrome (BBSS), benign retinal vasculitis, presumed phlebitis of the optic disc, optic disc vasculitis, and non-ischemic [sites.google.com]
Pathophysiology Papillophlebitis is essentially a central retinal vein occlusion (CRVO) occurring in a young, healthy patient. [medicalstudy.blogspot.com]
However, the pathophysiology of primary retinal vasculitis is often closely aligned with Eales' disease. Eales' disease is also associated with isolated conditions of retinal vasculitis, most often seen in young men. [symbiosisonlinepublishing.com]
Prevention
Prevention Routine changing of intravenous (IV) lines helps to prevent thrombophlebitis related to IVs. [mountsinai.org]
Medication The most common form of treatment is medication, which can dissolve clots or prevent them from forming. Blood thinners (anticoagulants) are designed to prevent blood clots and may be the most effective way of preventing new clots. [healthline.com]
