[Bilateral recurrent uveitis, retinitis and papillitis. A complication of thromboangiitis obliterans?].
Frequently relapsing acute bilateral uveitis, retinitis and papillitis were observed in a young male smoker. Long-term therapy with azathioprine (150 mg/day), fluocortolone (15 mg every other day) and phenprocumarol proved to be the only means of suppressing the ocular symptoms and achieving a relatively steady condition. Simultaneously relapsing thrombophlebitis of the lower extremities indicated that thrombangiitis obliterans might be the basic disease. The ophthalmic literature on this condition is critically reviewed.
