| Popis: | We found a multifocal retinochoroiditis in 16 patients (13 female, 3 male). Patients also showed vitreous cells, in some cases pronounced retinal vasculitis, cystoid macular edema and papilledema. The patients ranged in age from 62 to 77 years. The anterior segment was involved in 13 cases. One patient demonstrated subretinal neovascularisation in both eyes. Fluorescein angiograms showed leakage from the retinal vessels, papilledema, macular edema and subretinal neovascularisation. A convincing classification of the described changes within any known disease entity was impossible. The findings most closely resembled a disease described by Dreyer and Gass in 1984 as ‘multifocal choroiditis and panuveitis’. |
