Article Synopsis
- A case report details a diabetic patient with obstructive sleep apnea who developed peripheral retinal neovascularization without typical diabetic retinopathy signs.
- The patient experienced nocturnal hypoxia, but other causes of the retinal condition were not found.
- The findings suggest that obstructive sleep apnea could contribute to retinal issues, highlighting the need for better screening and potential treatment options for OSA in these patients.
