Background: Rickettsial disease has been commonly associated with retinitis, retinal vasculitis, and optic nerve involvement, but the development of retinal neovascularization has been very rarely reported. We herein describe a case of rickettsial retinitis complicated with the development of sea-fan retinal neovascularization documented with multimodal imaging, including fundus photography, SS-OCT, fluorescein angiography, and SS-OCT angiography.
Case Presentation: A 26-year-old female with a history of fever one week earlier presented with sudden decreased vision in the left eye.
Purpose: To provide an overview of pediatric pars planitis.
Methods: Narrative literature review.
Results: Pars planitis refers to the idiopathic subset of intermediate uveitis in which there is vitritis along with snowball or snowbank formation occurring in the absence of an associated infection or systemic disease.
