Neuroretinitis

Neuroretinitis
Neuroretinitis refers to the constellation of optic disc swelling, radially-disposed exudates in the macula ("macular star") and visual loss. The exudates generally appear one to two weeks after the onset of symptoms. In the case shown here, an indistinct whitish nodule appears to overlie the temporal aspect of the disc. Also note the hemorrhagic appearance of the disc and the marked dilation of the retinal veins.
