Blinding meningitis: frosted branch angiitis: A rare presentation

Dilon Noronha, Sripathi Kamath

Frosted branch angiitis (FBA) is typically a bilateral diffuse retinal periphlebitis which occurs in a number of conditions. Here we report an unusual case of a 20 year old female patient who presented with bilateral blindness with a fundus picture of FBA following four days of fever and headache. A series of investigations were carried to rule out the possible underlying diseases and significant recovery of vision was seen on treatment with intravenous steroids and intravitreal Acyclovir therapy.
