Abstract

Eales’ disease is an idiopathic disorder induced by ischemic retinal vasculitis, usually affecting the peripheral retina. We encountered a young patient diagnosed as cerebral infarction with a history of Eales’ disease. The patient’s middle cerebral artery showed multifocal stenosis with contrast enhancement, suggesting vasculitis. These findings might give clues to a rare cause of cerebral artery stenosis.
