TitleVasoproliferative Tumor (VPT) Secondary to Sarcoid-associated intermediate uveitis
PurposeA case- report of VPT secondary to intermediate uveitis (IU).
MethodsWe are reporting a case of VPT secondary to chronic intermediate uveitis in a middle-aged woman with sarcoidosis, presenting as unilateral unifocal VPT.
The patient has had inactive lung sarcoidosis for four years before presentation to the ophthalmology clinic.
ResultsMedical and surgical management were applied, which led to a marked improvement in visual acuity and ocular inflammation control.
ConclusionVasoproliferative retinal tumors can be idiopathic, or they can develop secondary to inflammatory, vascular, traumatic, dystrophic, and degenerative ocular diseases. VPT can produce a variety of complications, so awareness and recognition of these tumors with proper management of their complications are needed.
