[Inflammation of retinal vessels--own observations].
OBJECTIVE
Inflammation of retinal vessels occures in variety of ophthalmic and systemic conditions. In this paper we attempt to reconstruct the events that lead to retinal vessels inflammation.


METHODS
We have studied 30 patients (14 F, 16 M)(age 27-54 years) with retinal vessels inflammation. 25 have additionally uveitis during 2 weeks to 21 years. In 7 cases etiology was established (sarcoidosis, tuberculosis, toxoplasmosis, systemic lupus erythematosus, hepatitis C). All patients were evaluated with ophthalmoscopic fundus examination. In some cases fluoresceine angiography and magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) was obtained. We are looking for the systemic, parasites and demyelination disorders.


CONCLUSIONS
Exact etiology was recognized in 5 patients (Ealse disease, sarcoidosis, SM). In 10 patients retinal vascullitis was connected with changes in central nervous system.
