(A) Retinography of right eye (OD) showing two angiomatous exudative lesions in the superior temporal arcade with fibrovascular proliferation. (B) Retinography of left eye (OS) with small multifocal retinitis. (C, D, E) Fluorescein angiography; revealed hyperfluorescence during the early phases (C) followed by leakage suggestive of retinal neovascularization in the OD (E) and early hypofluorescent lesions due to retinal inflammation with delayed staining in the OS (D).

Figure 2
Optical coherence tomography (OCT) revealed tractional re-tinal detachment in the right eye (OD) with intraretinal fluid and hard exudates (A) and hyper-reflectivity of the inner retinal layers in the left eye (OS) (retinitis) with vitreous cells (B).
