Eales' disease with myelopathy.

The first Thai case of Eales' disease with myelopathy is reported. This entity must be differentiated from other causes of myelopathy such as those due to infectious-inflammatory causes. The ophthalmologic findings are the most important diagnostic clues. Since many infectious diseases such as tuberculosis and dental sepsis may be potentially related to Eales' disease, and these infections are rather common in Thailand, the diagnosis of Eales' disease with neurological complications especially myelopathy should be looked for.
