Purpose of reviewOcclusive retinal vasculitis (ORV) has a large differential diagnosis and varied therapeutic approaches. This review highlights existing and novel causes and treatment options for ORV.
Recent findingsMutations in CAPN5, TREX1, and TNFAIP3 have been associated with dominantly inherited forms of ORV. Various intraocular therapeutics have been shown to occasionally cause ORV; the most recent medications associated with ORV are vancomycin and brolucizumab. In cases of ORV linked to Behc ¸et's disease, clinical trials support the use of tumor necrosis factor alpha inhibitors.
