RESUMEN
Amyloid beta-related angiitis (ABRA) is a subtype of cerebral amyloid angiopathy-related inflammation, with distinctive pathology and prognosis compared with cerebral amyloid angiopathy (CAA). On a spectrum of increasing severity, ABRA is considered to be in-between the less aggressive inflammatory-CAA and the more severe primary central nervous system (CNS) angiitis. Whereas retinal pathological changes were described in subjects with primary or secondary CNS angiitis, and non-inflammatory CAA, bilateral posterior pole superficial and peripapillary retinal hemorrhages have not been reported as initial signs in patients with pathology-confirmed ABRA, accompanying neurological spells and characteristic neuroimaging findings.
RESUMEN
There has been an increase in the complications associated with hepatitis C. Scleritis is one of the complications of the condition that is not routinely suspected, and thus underdiagnosed or missed, leading to delay in initiation of treatment. This case report will bring that to the attention of ophthalmologists so necessary systemic therapy can be instituted in a timely fashion.
