| Zusammenfassung: | Objective: To report a case of frosted-branch angiitis. Method: This is a case report of frosted-branch angiitis seen at the University of the Philippines–Philippine General Hospital. Results: A 42 year-old male presented with progressive blurring of vision of the left eye. Indirect funduscopy showed dilated retinal veins with perivascular sheathing, giving the appearance of frosted-branches of a tree. Conclusion: Frosted-branch angiitis is a rare form of retinal vasculitis with various etiologies. Despite the severe retinal appearance, the prognosis is usually good, with rapid recovery of visual acuity after prompt steroid treatment. |
