Use Of Wide-Field Retinography For Periphlebitis Detection In Patients With Multiple Sclerosis

Retinal periphlebitis (RP) is characterized by perivascular exudation, hemorrhage, and retinal venous sheathing. The relationship between RP and multiple sclerosis (MS) is known and has a variable incidence among series (5-39%). RP has been related to a more active disease (1). Retinal inflammation parallels the inflamatory processes in the central nervous system and his presence of RP might favor the election of a more effective drug, even assuming a greater risk of side effects. The objetive of this study was evaluate the role of wide-field retinography to detect periphlebitis in patients without ocular symptoms.
