Bilateral progressive obliterative retinal vasculitis.
In this paper, 10 cases of a special type of retinal vasculitis are reported, which was characterized by progressive obliteration of vessels in both eyes, developed from the periphery to the posterior ploy, and was complicated by vitreous hemorrhage (5 eyes) and neovascular glaucoma (5 eyes) in later stage. The visual acuity was 0.05 in 10 eyes (50%). Argon laser photocoagulation seemed to be able to retard the natural course of the disease. Fundus changes, differential diagnosis and treatment etc are discussed in detail.
