Abstract
- Polyarteritis nodosa is a necrotizing vasculitis affecting medium and small-sized arteries throughout the body. Eye involvement is present in about 10% to 20% of patients, including chemosis, iritis, episcleritis, corneal ulcers, keratitiis, choroiditis, retinal detachment, extraocular muscle palsies, and hypertensive retinopathy. Rarely there have been reports of optic neuropathies and occasional central retinal artery occlusions. We experienced a patient with central retinal artery occlusion who had been diagnosed polyarteritis nodosa with mononeuritis multiplex.
