Retinal vasculitis is a diagnosis that is generally suggested by an ophthalmologist. Frequently patients with the disorder are referred to nonophthalmologists for further diagnostic evaluation or treatment. The criteria for defining vasculitis differ greatly between ophthalmologists and other physicians. To facilitate collaboration between ophthalmologists and their colleagues, we have sought to clarify the term "retinal vasculitis" by discussing its subcategories, the potential role of antiphospholipid antibodies, and the etiology of retinal vasculitis. We offer guidelines for evaluating the disorder and treating patients.
视网膜血管炎是一种通常由眼科医生做出的诊断。患有该疾病的患者常常被转介给非眼科医生进行进一步的诊断评估或治疗。眼科医生和其他医生对血管炎的定义标准差异很大。为了促进眼科医生与其同事之间的合作，我们试图通过讨论视网膜血管炎的子类别、抗磷脂抗体的潜在作用以及视网膜血管炎的病因来阐明“视网膜血管炎”这一术语。我们提供了评估该疾病和治疗患者的指南。
