Abstract
We report on an 11-year-old boy with frosted branch angiitis in both eyes associated with aseptic meningitis. The patient presented after a severe decrease in vision in both eyes and a 40 °C fever. The examination of the fundus of the eyes revealed a diffuse edema of the retina and diffuse bilateral vascular sheathing. The complementary examinations revealed aseptic meningitis. Neither infectious etiologies nor systemic diseases could be confirmed and an inflammatory digestive disease was suspected because of recent diarrhea events responsible for substantial weight loss. A systemic corticotherapy slowly improved the vision in both eyes. After 1 year of medication, visual recovery was full with no sequelae on fundus examination.
