Polyarteritis nodosa (PAN) is a systemic necrotizing inflammation of blood vessels (vasculitis) affecting medium-sized muscular arteries, typically involving the arteries of the kidneys and other internal organs but generally sparing the lungs' circulation. [3]
In rare cases, AAION may be caused by other types of vasculitis, such as polyarteritis nodosa, systemic lupus erythematosus and herpes zoster. [1] In AAION, the posterior ciliary artery becomes inflamed which results in a thrombotic occlusion of the main blood supply to the optic nerve head with a risk of visual loss in the affected eye or eyes ...

The three potentially blinding eye conditions included NAION, papillitis, and paracentral acute middle maculopathy. As interest in taking glucagon-like peptide-1 receptor agonist ...
Retinal vasculitis is inflammation of the vascular branches of the retinal artery, caused either by primary ocular disease processes, or as a specific presentation of any systemic form of vasculitis such as Behçet's disease, sarcoidosis, multiple sclerosis, or any form of systemic necrotizing vasculitis such as temporal arteritis, polyarteritis nodosa, and granulomatosis with polyangiitis, or ...
Macular degeneration is an incurable eye disease in which the central portion of the retina, the macula, deteriorates. The macula focuses your central vision, which is important for fine detail ...
Periarteritis nodosa; Reactive arthritis; Rheumatoid arthritis; Ehlers-Danlos Syndrome; Sarcoidosis; Scleroderma; Systemic lupus erythematosus; Temporal arteritis; Relapsing polychondritis; Granulomatosis with polyangiitis 50-60% have ophthalmologic manifestations, which can be a presenting feature in a minority of patients.
Changes in the eye can help predict other health concerns in the body, such as diabetes and high blood pressure. A new study has identified a set of 29 vascular health indicators on the retina ...
