Neuroretinitis refers to an optic neuropathy in which optic disc edema is accompanied by peripapillary or macular hard exudates. Most cases involve a single episode and have no associated systemic abnormalities. In rare instances, neuroretinitis may be recurrent and lead to progressive visual loss. We describe a patient with recurrent neuroretinitis who concurrently developed ulcerative colitis, the first report of this association.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
