Intraocular neovascularization is seen commonly as a response to retinal ischemia or less commonly due to inflammation. Inflammatory iris neovascularization responds well to topical steroids, whereas retinal neovascularization associated with uveitic conditions responds to systemic steroids or periocular depot injections. This case highlights an unusually rapid resolution of disc neovascularization along with iris neovascularization just with topical steroids in a middle-aged lady diagnosed with bilateral panuveitis and retinal vasculitis. We presume it may be due to a spontaneous decrease in posterior segment inflammation or due to systemic vascular remodeling.
