To report a case of resolution of retinal arterial aneurysms in a patient of idiopathic retinal vasculitis, aneurysms and neuroretinitis (IRVAN) treated with oral steroids.
This study contains case report and review of literature.
A 16-year-old girl with stage 2 IRVAN was treated with oral steroids alone. Fluorescein angiography confirmed the presence of aneurysms and absence of neovascularization in both eyes. The aneurysms resolved gradually over 4-month follow-up.
This case demonstrates previously unreported reversibility of arterial aneurysms with steroid therapy alone in early stages of IRVAN.
报告一例口服类固醇治疗特发性视网膜血管炎、动脉瘤和神经视网膜炎(IRVAN)患者视网膜动脉动脉瘤消退的病例。
本研究包含病例报告及文献回顾。
一名16岁2期IRVAN女孩仅接受口服类固醇治疗。荧光素血管造影证实双眼存在动脉瘤且无新生血管形成。在4个月的随访中,动脉瘤逐渐消退。
本病例显示了在IRVAN早期单独使用类固醇治疗动脉动脉瘤具有此前未报道过的可逆性。
