A case of frosted-branch retinal angiitis in a child.
We report the case of a patient with frosted-branch angiitis of the retina in a 3-year-old girl. She had acute visual disturbances OU, and we observed iritis, retinal edema, and retinal angiitis. Retinal angiitis showed the same condition as previously described, the so-called acute frosted retinal periphlebitis accompanied with vascular sheathing. Her eyes improved rapidly after administration of an oral corticosteroid, and during the ensuing four months, she had no recurrences.
