Abstract

Optic disc neovascularization is known to occur in occlusive vascular diseases or chronic posterior inflammatory conditions. It has been recently reported to occur in chronic anterior uveitis. The authors treated a patient with optic disc neovascularization associated with chronic anterior uveitis with topical and systemic steroid administration. The authors present our experience of optic disc neovascularization in chronic anterior uveitis with a brief review of the literatures related to this disease.
