The eye showed exudative retinal detachment and neovascularization, intraocular fibrosis, and features of phthisis bulbi. Chronic inflammatory CD3-positive cell infiltrates were identified throughout the uvea, vitreous and retina, consistent with chronic uveitis.Conclusion: Mutations in CAPN5 trigger autoimmune uveitis characterized by inflammatory T-cells and severe neovascularization.Keywords: autosomal dominant neovascular inflammatory vitreoretinopathy, ADNIV, CAPN5, uveitis, CD3 |
