  • Title: Retinal periphlebitis in multiple sclerosis: a marker of disease activity?
    Author: Tola MR, Granieri E, Casetta I, Monari P, Scorrano R, Mazzeo V, Paolino E, Monetti VC, Govoni V.
    Journal: Eur Neurol; 1993; 33(2):93-6. PubMed ID: 8467831.
    Abstract:
    This study was performed in order to verify the prevalence of retinal periphlebitis and other ocular changes in a well-defined population of multiple sclerosis (MS) patients, and to correlate the presence of these features with some clinical variables which characterize the disease. 110 MS-affected subjects were submitted to a standard ophthalmologic examination including a biomicroscopical evaluation of the fundus oculi. The prevalence of retinal sheathing in MS patients was found to be nearly 36%. It is significantly higher in patients evaluated in an active phase of the disease than in those examined in a stationary phase.
