Abstract
The fluoroangiographic examination of the acute stage of retinal lesion in a 16 yr old girl suffering from SSPE [subacute sclerosing panencephalitis] showed an exclusively localized retinal vascular involvement 4 days after the onset of her visual complaints. A week later this occlusive vascular lesion progressed to a large area of capillary bed obstruction and it was followed up angiographically. The choroid was involved even during the late stages of evolution of retinal lesion at a low degree. Angiographic findings enabled a neuroretinal location of primary pathological process in the retina to be considered.
