OCULAR manifestations of polyarteritis nodosa are well recognized. Changes in the choroidal, ciliary, orbital, and retinal vessels have all been described (Duke-Elder and Dobree, 1967). Hitherto, the retinopathy of this condition has been described on the basis of ophthalmoscopic and pathological appearances.
