A CASE OF NEURORETINITIS ASSOCIATED WITH LONG-STANDING POLYARTERITIS-NODOSA

We reported a 45-year-old man suffering from neuroretinitis with long- standing polyarteritis nodosa and anterior uveitis. Fluorescein angiog raphy, made at the stage when optic disk swelling developed, demonstra ted a hypofluorescent area at the temporal part of the optic disc pres enting exudates in its prelaminar region. When the swelling of the opt ic disc had resolved as verified ophthalmoscopically, and the hypofluo rescence was angiographically undetectable, a macular star was observe d, showing a configuration corresponding to Henle's layer.
