[Acute, idiopathic, bilateral uveitis with periphlebitis--case report].

The purpose of this paper is to present the case of a 35 years old healthy male suffering from acute, bilateral uveitis with periphlebitis which despite broad ophthalmic and internal diagnosis remained of unknown origin. Despite anti-inflammatory treatment with acyclovir, ciprofloxacin and Encorton remission of inflammation was not achieved. Due to the failure of steroid treatment the decision of immunosuppressive therapy with Rapamycine and Endoxan was made. New therapeutic regimen caused the remission of inflammation and preserved patient's useful visual acuity.

[Prognosis in idiopathic retinal periphlebitis. Apropos of 14 cases].

Fourteen patients (26 eyes) suffering from idiopathic retinal periphlebitis were followed during a mean time of 6 years (2 to 11 years). At the first examination, five eyes presented with irreversible loss of vision (tractional retinal detachment, neovascular glaucoma). At the end of follow-up, the visual acuity was inferior to 0.1 in 6 eyes, between 0.1 and 0.5 in 7 eyes, superior to 0.6 in 13 eyes. In 70% of cases, initial visual acuity was maintained or ameliorated. New vessels were present in association with significant capillary closure in 18 eyes (70%). Cystoid macular edema appeared in 7 eyes (27%). Steroid therapy, or immunosuppressants in few cases, were usefull to suppress intraocular inflammation. Laser photocoagulation was performed in 18 eyes in order to prevent or reduce ocular neovascularization; beneficial results were obtained in 13 eyes.

Retinal periphlebitis after hormonal treatment.

Two cases, those of a man and a woman, developed retinal periphlebitis after hormonal treatment for infertility and contraceptives, respectively. Both had a unilateral severe decrease in visual acuity, and a central scotoma and defect in color vision were also present. The fundus had retinal edema, especially of the macula, a hyperemic disc with blurred margins, normal arteries, congested veins, and marked sheathing along the main veins, with retinal hemorrhages in the inferior half of the retina. Fluorescein angiography showed a delayed filling of the veins in the affected retina and late staining of these veins. Since there was severe visual impairment in each case, systemic adrenocorticosteroids were administered, and a rapid improvement in visual acuity occurred. In one patient, a trace Marcus-Gunn sign, a few small paracentral scotomas, and a defect in color vision were permanent sequelae.
