  Fig. 1 Wide-field fundus photograph, wide-field fluorescein angiograph, optical coherence tomography and anterior segment photograph images of (A–F) case 1, (G–I) case 2 right eye, and (J–L) case 2 left eye. (A) Wide-field fundus photograph showing multiple patch patterned retinal hemorrhages along venules. The retinal veins are not tortuous or dilated. (B) Wide-field fluorescein angiograph showing multiple vessel occlusion with non-perfusion area (early flame angiogram). (C) Wide-field fluorescein angiograph demonstrating diffuse retinal perivascular leakage and cuffing. (D) Optical coherence tomography showing macular edema with subretinal fluid. (E) Wide-field fundus photograph showing the improved retinal hemorrhages after 8 months of treatment with intravitreal bevacizumab, topical and systemic corticosteroid. (F) Optical coherence tomography showing the absorbed subretinal fluid in the right eye. (G) Anterior segment photograph of the right eye demonstrating iris neovascularization. (H) Wide-field fundus photograph showing the multiple patch patterned retinal hemorrhages. The retinal veins are not tortuous or dilated. (I) Wide-field fluorescein angiograph demonstrating perivascular leakage and peripheral vascular occlusion with extended area of non-perfusion. (J) Anterior segment photograph of the left eye showing the severe neovascularization of iris at the inferonasal aspect of the iris. (K) Wide-field fundus photograph showing multiple scattered intraretinal and perivascular hemorrhages occurred faster than the fellow eye. The retinal veins are not tortuous or dilated. (L) Wide-field fluorescein angiograph showing perivascular leakage with non-perfusion areas in the peripheral retina.
