[Bilateral progressive obliterative retinal vasculitis].
10 cases were reported with a special type of retinal vasculitis which was characterized by progressive obliteration of retinal blood vessels from peripheral retinas to the posterior poles in both eyes. In the late stage of the disease, it was complicated by vitreous hemorrhage in 5 eyes, neovascular glaucoma in 5 eyes, etc. The visual acuities of 10 eyes (50%) were < or = 0.05. It seems that argon laser photocoagulation can delay its natural course. Its fundus changes, fluorescein angiographic findings, differential diagnosis and treatment were discussed.
