A patient is described known with ITP, who developed an attack of angle-closure glaucoma secondary to posterior scleritis. This condition reacted well to corticosteroid treatment and antiglaucomaleus therapy serologically SLE was highly probable. In fundo there was the picture of a central retinal vein occlusion. Later the patient developed neovascularisation of the optic disc, which did not diminish after panretinal photocoagulation. In spite of cryocoagulation, a vitreous haemorrhage resulted.
