“…The role of intravenous corticosteroid treatment is highlighted by two reports. Hernandez-da Mota et al reported a 16-year-old with SLE who, despite treatment with azathioprin and deflazacort, developed a frosted branch-like angiitis, which resolved after a three day course of intravenous methylprednisolone (500mg) and a tapering regime of oral prednisolone 50 . Similarly Frigui et al reported two patients presenting with bilateral visual loss, diagnosed with a bilateral optic neuritis and an ischemic bilateral optic neuropathy respectively.…”

“…Ito et al [ 1 ] first coined the term frosted branch angiitis in 1976 where they reported the appearance of thick perivascular sheathing in a 6-year-old boy’s fundus recalling imagery of frosted tree branches during an icy winter. Frosted branch angiitis may be idiopathic or associated with various systemic conditions including SLE [ 2 , 3 ], Behcet’s disease [ 4 ], Crohn’s disease [ 5 ], cytomegalovirus (CMV) retinitis [ 6 ], herpes simplex type 2 infection [ 7 ], mycobacterium tuberculosis infection [ 8 ], T. gondii infection [ 9 ], various other viral and bacterial infections [ 10 ], aseptic meningitis [ 11 ], and blood dyscrasias such as leukemia [ 12 ] and lymphoma [ 13 ]. Additional retinal findings may include intraretinal hemorrhages, hard exudates, and serous exudative detachments of the macula and periphery.…”

“…While retinal vasculitis is well observed in SLE, frosted branch angiitis has been described in only two patients with SLE [ 2 , 3 ]. Both patients had previously met full diagnostic criteria for SLE without APS and presented with markedly decreased vision associated with prominent frosted branch periphlebitis.…”
