Differential Diagnosis

Other possible diagnoses

  • Retinopathy of Prematurity
  • Sickle cell
  • Norries disease6
  • Familial Exudative Vitreo-Retinopathy6
  • Hemangioma
  • Eales Disease

Why excluded in this case

  • no history of prematurity
  • normal hemoglobin electrophoresis
  • no other systemic finding
  • no family history
  • not supported by the FA and abnormalities in the fellow eye
  • “wastepaper basket” diagnosis when no other retinal vascular disorder seems to fit
