Post-streptococcal vasculitis.
OBJECTIVE
To report a case of post-streptococcal retinal vasculitis.


METHODS
Review of a case.


METHODS
Review of patient chart and fluorescein angiography.


RESULTS
A 17 year old African American female presented with moderate vitritis and macular edema in the right eye and retinal vessel sheathing in both eyes.


CONCLUSIONS
Although CNS vasculitis is well recognized as a post-streptococcal syndrome, this case illustrates that retinal vasculitis can also occur in this setting, and can resolve with oral steroid therapy.
