RESUMO
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
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 ischaemic sequelae. DISCUSSION: IRVAN syndrome with neovascularisation 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 ischaemia
