Abstract
Case report

A 55-year-old woman presented with retinal vasculitis, multiple aneurysms, macular exudation and widespread retinal nonperfusion and was diagnosed with IRVAN. She was treated with panretinal laser photocoagulation. After 3 years of follow-up visual acuity remains stable and there are no complications due to ischemic sequelae.

Discussion

IRVAN syndrome with neovascularization can progress rapidly despite laser treatment. Panretinal laser photocoagulation has to be considered in the early stages as it is effective in stopping the progression of ischemia.

Keywords:
Vasculitis
Aneurysm
Neuroretinitis
Treatment
Laser coagulation
Resumen
Caso clínico

Se presenta el caso de una mujer de 55 años con vasculitis retiniana, aneurismas arteriales múltiples en el polo posterior, exudación macular e hipoperfusión periférica bilateral (IRVAN) tratada precozmente con panfotocoagulación periférica. Tras 3 años de seguimiento la agudeza visual permanece estable y no hay progresión de la isquemia.

Discusión

El síndrome de IRVAN con neovascularización es difícil de controlar y el riesgo de progresión a glaucoma neovascular, a pesar del tratamiento, es alto. La panfotocoagulación en estadios iniciales es eficaz para controlar la isquemia y debe realizarse lo antes posible.
