Relentless Placoid Chorioretinitis With Branch Retinal Vein Occlusion and Secondary Peripheral Retinal Neovascularization
Bibliographic record
Abstract
Purpose: We report a case of relentless placoid chorioretinitis (RPC) that developed branch retinal vein occlusion and peripheral retinal neovascularization in one eye. Methods: A case report is presented. Results: A 33-year-old healthy man presented with decreased visual acuity (20/150) in both eyes. Slit-lamp examination revealed anterior chamber and vitreous inflammation. Multiple yellow-white lesions were evident in the macula and scattered throughout the fundus. Following workup, a diagnosis of RPC was made. The patient was started on Pred Forte (prednisolone acetate 1%) and atropine drops. Three months later, visual acuity improved to 20/70 and 20/100 in the right and left eyes, respectively. At this time, fundus examination and fluorescein angiography revealed peripheral retinal neovascularization. Sectoral scatter laser photocoagulation was performed in the areas of nonperfusion. Conclusions: We describe a novel presentation of RPC associated with branch retinal vein occlusion and retinal neovascularization. Although the pathophysiology of RPC is believed to be primarily a choroidal vasculitis, retinal vascular changes may also occur, as observed in other white dot syndromes.

How this classification was reachedexpand
Full frame distilled prediction
Teacher imitationNot calibrated prevalence, not ground truth. Human validation pending. Learned from the 10,348 direct Codex labels and 10,348 direct Gemma labels. Candidate is the union of thresholded teacher heads; consensus is their intersection. These outputs are machine_predicted_unvalidated and are not human labels or direct frontier model labels.

Machine scores (provisional)
The two teacher heads of the student model, read on this work. A score orders the frame for review; it never asserts a category, and the validation status ships verbatim with every row.
Baseline scores from an immature model (maturity gate not passed, 7 training rounds). Scores rank; they never assert a category.
score_only:v0-immature-baseline · verbatim from the scoring run: score_only means the number may rank works, and no category label ships from itClassification
machine, unvalidatedMachine predicted; a candidate call from one teacher head, not a consensus.
