Purpose: To describe a case of cancer-associated retinopathy (CAR) due to ovarian cancer presenting with retinal periphlebitis and a negative-type pattern electroretinogram (ERG).
Design: Case report.
Methods: Retrospective chart review.
Results: A negative-type ERG in the setting of progressive vision loss and retinal periphlebitis led to the discovery of metastatic ovarian cancer and ultimately the diagnosis of CAR.
Conclusions: CAR can present with periphlebitis and a negative-type ERG. Greater awareness of these associations may allow for earlier detection of future cases.

Background: Eales' disease is an idiopathic, inflammatory condition characterized by peripheral retinal phlebitis, distal non-perfusion, and neovascularization. Coats' disease, on the other hand, is an idiopathic, retinal vasculopathy characterized by telangiectasia and yellowish exudation. Both diseases commonly affect males.

A middle-aged hypertensive female presented with headaches, tinnitus, and blurred vision for two weeks. Clinical examination revealed mild vitritis and bilateral multifocal exudative detachments at the posterior pole, together with peripheral vascular cuffing and peri-phlebitis. Laboratory testing pointed towards isolated presumed intraocular tuberculosis (IOTB) as the probable cause.

Eales' Disease is an idiopathic peripheral retinal vasculopathy first described by British ophthalmologist Henry Eales in 1880. Most prevalent in healthy young males, Eales' Disease often presents with symptoms of sudden blurry or decreased vision and floaters. Although no clear, standardized stage of the disease exists, it progresses through three overlapping phases-peripheral periphlebitis, ischemic capillary ischemia, and retinal neovascularization.

Introduction: Intraocular tuberculosis (IOTB) is a common site of extrapulmonary tuberculosis and a main cause of infectious uveitis. It can result in severe visual morbidity if not recognized and treated properly. The clinical manifestations of IOTB are varied, and the duration of treatment is unclear.

Eales disease manifests as an obliterative periphlebitis affecting the retina; it originates from the periphery and progresses posteriorly. It is characterized by retinal vessel wall inflammation, ischemia, and retinal neovascularization. In this report, we present the case of a 34-year-old male who attended our clinic with a sudden blurring of vision in his right eye.
