Abstract
The incidence of ocular involvement in PAN varies from 10 to 20%. It is most often associated with vasculitis of retinal and choroidal arteries. Fluorescein angiography is the gold standard of diagnosis. Multifocal acute ischemia of the choriocapillaris is very pathognomonic. Immunosuppressant drugs are effective and should be reserved for severe forms.
