Abstract

PURPOSE: To report a case of post-streptococcal retinal vasculitis.
DESIGN: Review of a case.
METHODS: Review of patient chart and fluorescein angiography.
RESULTS: A 17 year old African American female presented with moderate vitritis and macular edema in the right eye and retinal vessel sheathing in both eyes.
CONCLUSIONS: Although CNS vasculitis is well recognized as a post-streptococcal syndrome, this case illustrates that retinal vasculitis can also occur in this setting, and can resolve with oral steroid therapy.
