“…This may be accompanied by capillary nonperfusion secondary to occlusive vasculitis resulting in NV. Both retinal arteries and veins can be involved in BD though venous involvement is more common [3]. BRVO with intraretinal hemorrhages and macular edema are frequently seen and these are often central in the retinal with a high risk of significant visual loss (Figure 3).…”

“…Based on the etiology, retinal vasculitis may be classified as either idiopathic or secondary to infection, neoplasia, or a systemic inflammatory disease [2, 3]. In a cohort study involving 1390 patients with uveitis, 15% had retinal vasculitis as part of their uveitic manifestations [1].…”

“…In a retrospective study of 113 eyes with retinal vasculitis in eastern India, capillary nonperfusion was the most common fundus fluorescence angiography (FFA) finding seen in retinal vasculitis, found in 40% of the cases, followed by collateral vessels, seen in 19.5% of eyes with vasculitis [4]. Different causes of retinal vasculitis carry variable risks of developing retinal ischemia ranging from being common in presumed tuberculous retinal vasculitis and Behçet's disease to a more rare association in sarcoidosis and multiple sclerosis (Table 1) [3, 5]. …”

Ischemic retinal vasculitis is an inflammation of retinal blood vessels associated with vascular occlusion and subsequent retinal hypoperfusion. It can cause visual loss secondary to macular ischemia, macular edema, and neovascularization leading to vitreous hemorrhage, fibrovascular proliferation, and tractional retinal detachment. Ischemic retinal vasculitis can be idiopathic or secondary to systemic disease such as in Behçet's disease, sarcoidosis, tuberculosis, multiple sclerosis, and systemic lupus erythematosus. Corticosteroids with or without immunosuppressive medication are the mainstay treatment in retinal vasculitis together with laser photocoagulation of retinal ischemic areas. Intravitreal injections of bevacizumab are used to treat neovascularization secondary to systemic lupus erythematosus but should be timed with retinal laser photocoagulation to prevent further progression of retinal ischemia. Antitumor necrosis factor agents have shown promising results in controlling refractory retinal vasculitis excluding multiple sclerosis. Interferon has been useful to control inflammation and induce neovascular regression in retinal vasculitis secondary to Behçet's disease and multiple sclerosis. The long term effect of these management strategies in preventing the progression of retinal ischemia and preserving vision is not well understood and needs to be further studied.

“…According to the Chapel Hill nomenclature, BS is classified as a disorder affecting variable vascular calibers. Arteries can be affected, whereas venous involvement predominates [63]. The systemic disease is characterized by oral aphthae (Figure 8), genital ulcers, thromboembolic manifestations at various sites and inflammatory ocular changes.…”

Retinal vasculitis is characterized by inflammatory involvement of retinal arterioles, venules and/or capillaries and can be associated with a myriad of systemic and ophthalmic diseases. In this review, we have comprehensively discussed the etiologies, clinical manifestations, and presentations of retinal vasculitis. We have also included newer advances in imaging in retinal vasculitis such as OCTA and widefield imaging.

“…Retinal vasculitis is a clinical finding in 6-15% of eyes with uveitis. 1,2 It can present most commonly as an idiopathic condition, and sometimes in association with an underlying infectious or systemic disease such as Behçet's disease, sarcoidosis, multiple sclerosis, collagen-vascular diseases, 3,4 or as an isolated ocular disease such as in sympathetic ophthalmia. Retinal vasculitis presents clinically as a spectrum, varying from mild venous sheathing to severe obstructive vasculitis.…”
