Abstract
ABSTRACT Purpose To describe a rare case of bilateral frosted branch angiitis with macular exudates in a 5-year-old boy presumed to be secondary to an Epstein–Barr virus (EBV) infection. Observations A 5-year-old boy presented with acute onset blurring of vision in both eyes, the best corrected visual acuity was 3/60 in both eyes. The anterior segment was unremarkable, fundus showed the presence of perivascular sheathing involving the macular vessels, exudates, and subretinal fluid at the fovea (OU). Serology was positive for EBV. Swept-source optical coherence tomography angiography showed areas of flow void in the superficial and deep capillary plexus that disappeared with reduction of inflammation following treatment with intravenous, oral and topical steroids, and oral valacyclovir. Conclusions Frosted branch angiitis can present following an EBV infection.
