RETINAL VASCULITIS ASSOCIATED WITH NEUROMYELITIS OPTICA
View through CrossRef
Purpose:To report a case of retinal vasculitis in a patient with neuromyelitis optica.Methods:Clinical case report, imaging was obtained with photographs, fluorescein angiography, spectral domain optical coherence tomography, and magnetic resonance imaging.Results:The aforementioned patient presented with urinary incontinence and spastic paraparesis. She was found to have a transverse myelitis on magnetic resonance imaging and positive anti–aquaporin-4 (AQP4-Ab) testing. She had no associated visual symptoms. Examination revealed a retinal vasculitis. There have been no previous reports of retinal vasculitis associated with neuromyelitis optica or neuromyelitis optica spectrum disorder.Conclusion:Retinal vasculitis can be associated with neuromyelitis optica.
