Abstract
- Eales disease is an uncommon idiopathic vasoproliferative retinal disease that primarily affects the peripheral retina. We experienced a 17-year-old male patient who was referred to our clinic because of retinal hemorrhage at the superior temporal quadrant of his left eye. After excluding other causes of branch retinal vein occlusion with medical evaluation, the primary branch retinal vein occlusion was diagnosed. During the follow-up period, retinal vasculitis developed in the peripheral retina of his both eyes along with rapid development of the neovascularization in the left eye. Eales disease was diagnosed. In spite of scattered laser photocoagulation, vitreous hemorrhage eventually occurred, requiring pars plana vitrectomy. We emphasize the occurrence of the branch retinal vein occlusion in young patient with Eales disease.
