Eales' disease is a noninflammatory occlusive disorder of the retinal vasculature that causes recurrent hemorrhages into the retina and vitreous and ischemic changes in the eye. Extraocular manifestations of Eales' disease are rare and limited to the central nervous system. We report the case of a patient with Eales' disease and ischemic stroke, and we review the neurologic manifestations of this primarily ophthalmologic vasculopathy.

Eales' disease is an uncommon idiopathic disorder characterized by retinal perivasculitis and recurrent vitreous hemorrhages in young males. Associated neurological involvement is rare. We report a 38-year-old man who presented with stroke attributed to Eales' disease.

Eales' disease is common in India and the Middle East, but its neurologic manifestations are rare. The authors report a young man with recurrent vitreous hemorrhage and acute amnestic confusional state who subsequently developed myelopathy. Eales' disease should be considered in the differential diagnosis of stroke in a young patient.

Introduction Tolosa-Hunt syndrome (THS) is one of the most common 'benign' causes of painful ophthalmoplegia. Diagnosis is based on clinical and imaging findings and the exclusion of other causes because there is no specific biomarker for the syndrome. Eales disease, an idiopathic inflammatory venous disease that primarily affects the eye, can also affect the central (as stroke or myelitis) and peripheral nervous system. Case report We report the case of a 32-year-old woman with a subacute left ophthalmoplegia and evidence of a gadolinium-enhanced lesion suggesting an inflammatory granuloma that resolved within 48 hours after treatment with steroids. A diagnosis of THS was considered at this time. On a follow-up ophthalmological examination, a diagnosis of Eales disease with involvement of the left eye was made. The patient was treated successfully. Conclusion Eales disease could be a cause of painful ophthalmoplegia and may mimic THS. Long-term follow-up of patients diagnosed with THS may be necessary to exclude other diagnoses.
