Peripapillary subretinal neovascularization in peripheral uveitis.
A 29-year-old white female with peripheral uveitis developed bilateral disc edema and unilateral peripapillary subretinal neovascularization which was successfully treated with argon laser photocoagulation. To our knowledge, this is the first reported case of peripapillary subretinal neovascularization complicating the course of peripheral uveitis.
