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.

High-resolution magnetic resonance (HRMRI) combined with magnetic resonance angiography (MRA) was used to analyze the correlation between the degree of infarction and the degree of cerebral vascular stenosis, and these patients are all have the trend to contain acute infarction. All patients were examined by CT cerebral angiography, which was analysed by conventional magnetic resonance imaging (MRI), high-Resolution (HRMRI) imaging, and cerebral vascular (MRA) imaging. The infarct size of each patient with cerebral infarction was calculated. The degree of middle cerebral artery stenosis was evaluated. Moreover, agnosis of acute cerebral infarction in middle cerebral artery region was calculated, and the correlation between acute cerebral infarction in middle cerebral artery region and the degree of cerebral vascular stenosis was analyzed. The specificity, sensitivity, and accuracy of magnetic resonance angiography (MRA) in the diagnosis of acute cerebral infarction in the blood supply area of the middle cerebral artery were 90.48%, 94.87%, and 93.94%. The coincidence rates for the degree of middle cerebral artery stenosis were 90.91% for mild stenosis, 92.31% for moderate stenosis, 93.75% for severe stenosis, and 85.71% for vascular occlusion, respectively. The K value was in good agreement with the results of CTA diagnosis (≥0.75). In conclusion, HRMRI can clearly indicated that the location of lesions with acute cerebral infarction, and MRA can show the degree of vascular stenosis, there is a close relationship between them.
