  • Title: Recurrence of periphlebitis retinae in multiple sclerosis.
    Author: Engell T, Hvidberg A.
    Journal: Acta Ophthalmol (Copenh); 1985 Feb; 63(1):80-2. PubMed ID: 3993350.
    Abstract:
    Periphlebitis retinae (PR) in multiple sclerosis (MS) is defined as ophthalmoscopically visible cuffs around veins in the otherwise normal retina. PR in MS has been suggested to be of a recurring nature, but to the authors knowledge this is the first study in which PR in MS has been seen to recur. A recurrence of PR in MS reflects the neurological progress. The material is unique because of the span of years these patients have been followed. In the 4 patients here presented the interval between the two episodes of PR was 16, 13, 5 and 0.5 years, respectively.
