Frosted branch angiitis (FBA) is a rare entity characterized by acute panuveitis in the form of a florid translucent retinal perivascular sheathing of both arterioles and venules, with variable uveitis, retinal edema and visual loss. Primary and secondary cases have been described in association with infectious, inflammatory and malignant etiologies. We aim to describe the clinical course and long-term visual outcome of three patients who developed retinal vein occlusion (RVO) and macular edema as a complication of FBA.

Abstract
Frosted branch angiitis (FBA) is a rare entity characterized by acute panuveitis in the form of a florid translucent retinal perivascular sheathing of both arterioles and venules, with variable uveitis, retinal edema and visual loss. Primary and secondary cases have been described in association with infectious, inflammatory and malignant etiologies. We aim to describe the clinical course and long-term visual outcome of three patients who developed retinal vein occlusion (RVO) and macular edema as a complication of FBA.I documenti in IRIS sono protetti da copyright e tutti i diritti sono riservati, salvo diversa indicazione.
