Title | Vasoproliferative Tumor (VPT) Secondary to Sarcoid-associated intermediate uveitis |
Purpose | A case- report of VPT secondary to intermediate uveitis (IU). |
Methods | We 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. |
Results | Medical and surgical management were applied, which led to a marked improvement in visual acuity and ocular inflammation control. |
Conclusion | Vasoproliferative 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. |
