“…In rare cases, the vasculitis may be occlusive, resulting in retinal infarction and consequent visual field defects. A case of frosted branch angiitis secondary to toxoplasmic retinochoroiditis was reported [42]. In addition, Diaz-Valle et al [43] reported a case of acute frosted branch angiitis without necrotizing chorioretinitis associated with acquired toxoplasmosis.…”

“…Second is the group of patients who have associated viral infections or autoimmune disease. Frosted branch angiitis was reported in patients with systemic lupus erythematosus [32], Crohn's disease [72], toxoplasmic retinochoroiditis [42,43], human T-cell lymphoma virus type 1 infection [57], AIDS associated with small patches of retinitis [49,50], HIV without CMV retinitis [53], herpes simplex virus infection [73], and Epstein-Barr virus infection [74]. In these patients frosted branch angiitis is a clinical sign, possibly of immune complex deposition (secondary frosted branch angiitis).…”

Retinal vasculitis is a sight-threatening inflammatory eye condition that involves the retinal vessels. Detection of retinal vasculitis is made clinically, and is confirmed with the help of fundus fluorescein angiography. Active vascular disease is characterized by exudates around retinal vessels resulting in white sheathing or cuffing of the affected vessels. In this review, a practical approach to the diagnosis of retinal vasculitis is discussed based on ophthalmoscopic and fundus fluorescein angiographic findings.

Retinal vasculitis is a sight-threatening intraocular inflammation affecting the retinal vessels. It may occur as an isolated ocular condition, as a manifestation of infectious or neoplastic disorders, or in association with a systemic inflammatory disease. The search for an underlying etiology should be approached in a multidisciplinary fashion based on a thorough history, review of systems, physical examination, and laboratory evaluation. Discrimination between infectious and noninfectious etiologies of retinal vasculitis is important because their treatment is different. This review is based on recently published articles on retinal vasculitis and deals with its clinical diagnosis, its link with systemic diseases, and its laboratory investigation.
