A 21-year-old male with decreased vision (4/60 both eyes) for 3 months presented with idiopathic retinal vasculitis, aneurysms, and neuroretinitis (IRVAN) as seen by disc edema, vascular sheathing, and exudates in macula and around the disc [Figure 1]a and [Figure 1]b, with aneurysmal dilatations on optic nerve head and retinal arterioles at or near their bifurcations on ultra-widefield fluorescein angiography [Figure 1]c and [Figure 1]d.[1],[2],[3],[4],[5] Laboratory workup was normal. Three months following oral prednisolone, both eyes' macular edema decreased with two-line visual improvement. Although an isolated retinal vascular disease, IRVAN can cause severe visual loss due to neovascular sequelae.[1],[2],[3],[4],[5] | Figure 1: Ultra-widefield fundus photograph showing disc edema, vascular sheathing, and exudates in macula and around the disc in the right (a) and left (b) eyes. Ultra-widefield fundus fluorescein angiography confirmed aneurysmal dilatations on the optic nerve head and retinal arterioles at or near their major branching sites in both eyes (c and d)
