Retinal vasculitis and Eales disease

Retinal vasculitis is an idiopathic inflammatory venous occlusion primarily affecting the peripheral retina of otherwise healthy young adults. Eales' disease is recognized as primary vasculitis of unknown etiology occurring in young adults. This article aims at the overall review of the etiopathogenesis, clinical presentations, pathology, management and prognosis of retinal vasculitis. Key words: Retinal vasculitis; Eales' disease DOI: 10.3126/nepjoph.v1i1.3675 Nep J Oph 2009;1(1):66-71

Retinal Inflammation

AbstractEales’ disease is a retinal vasculitis characterized by retinal inflammation, ischemia, and neovascularization. Exact pathogenesis of this disease is yet to be found out. We present a 29-year-old male, diagnosed with Eales’ disease in both eyes with persistent intraocular inflammation. Enucleation of the pthisical right eye was subjected for histopathological examination immunohistochemistry and molecular biologic study for mycobacterial tuberculosis DNA. Our study showed that Eales disease is probably a T cell mediated disease which is triggered by mycobacterial TB DNA. Further studies are needed to confirm our findings.

History Of

Eales’ disease is an idiopathic disorder induced by ischemic retinal vasculitis, usually affecting the peripheral retina. We encountered a young patient diagnosed as cerebral infarction with a history of Eales’ disease. The patient’s middle cerebral artery showed multifocal stenosis with contrast enhancement, suggesting vasculitis. These findings might give clues to a rare cause of cerebral artery stenosis.
