Abstract
Eales disease is a rare cause of retinal vasculitis and is characterized by venous inflammation, vascular occlusion, retinal neovascularization, and recurrent vitreous hemorrhages. It is a diagnosis of exclusion. Although the cause is unknown, it seems associated with Mycobacterium tuberculosis. The management depends on the stage of the disease and includes corticosteroids in the active inflammatory stage, panretinal photocoagulation (PRP) in cases of retinal neovascularization, and vitreoretinal surgery in cases of (persistent) vitreous hemorrhage and tractional retinal detachment. The role of antituberculosis therapy (ATT) is still controversial.
