Methods: This was a cross-sectional observational study including a hypertensive group and a control group. Subjects were examined and their medical history recorded.
Purpose: To study the sheathing of retinal vasculitis in various systemic autoimmune diseases using adaptive optics imaging (AOI).
Methods: Prospective, observational case series with six patients: Behçet disease (n = 1); systemic lupus erythematosus (n = 1); idiopathic retinal vasculitis (n = 2); granulomatosis with polyangiitis (n = 1); and Takayasu aorta arteritis (n = 1). Fundus photograph (FP), fundus fluorescein angiography (FFA) were done in all cases at presentation.
