    Right eye fundus fluorescein angiography of a 30-year-old female patient presented with diminution of vision in both eyes since 3 months. Fundus examination revealed cotton-wool spots, vasculitis and the presence of a cilioretinal artery in the right eye. Laboratory investigations were positive for antinuclear antibodies and antidouble stranded/native DNA antibodies.
