PURPOSE: To describe a case of retinal vasculopathy with cerebral leukoencephalopathy and systemic manifestations (RVCL-S) to enhance early recognition of this often-missed diagnosis.
METHODS: A case report is presented.
RESULTS: A 50-year-old woman with a history of Raynaud phenomenon, memory difficulties, and a family history of strokes was referred for evaluation of a bilateral, small-vessel, occlusive disease refractory to immunosuppressive therapy. An extensive workup for treatable causes was unrevealing. Fifteen months after presentation, brain imaging showed white-matter lesions and dystrophic calcification, which led to the discovery of a pathogenic variant in TREX1 and the diagnosis of RVCL-S.
CONCLUSIONS: Retina specialists play a critical role in the timely diagnosis of RVCL-S. Although the findings in this condition can mimic those in other common retinal vascular disorders, there are key characteristics that increase the suspicion for RVCL-S. Early recognition might decrease unnecessary therapies and procedures.
