Post-streptococcal vasculitis.

PURPOSE: To report a case of post-streptococcal retinal vasculitis.

DESIGN

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.
