Zusammenfassung

Die Frosted-Branch-Angiitis stellt eine Spezialform einer retinalen Vaskulitis dar, die selten in der Literatur beschrieben worden ist. Obwohl die Mehrheit der Frosted-Branch-Angiitis-Fälle idiopathisch ist, sollte eine systematische Abklärung durchgeführt werden, um z. B. eine infektiöse Genese oder Autoimmunerkrankung auszuschließen. Ziel unserer Arbeit war es, das klinische Verlaufsbild mit den von der SD-OCT (Spektral-Domänen optische Kohärenztomographie) gelieferten Bildern in Korrelation zu bringen.

Abstract

Frosted branch angiitis is a special form of retinal vasculitis, which has only rarely been reported in the literature. Although the majority of cases of frosted branch angiitis are idiopathic, a systematic clinical work-up should be done in order to exclude other causes, such as infectious and autoimmune diseases. The aim of this study was to correlate the clinical findings with the images obtained during follow-up by spectral domain optical coherence tomography (OCT).
