INTRODUCTION: @entity11102 ( @entity11102 ) is a systemic @entity166 . The most well-known posterior segment presentation is @entity2479 with a macular star. In this study, we present a case series emphasising the heterogeneity of the disease and the various posterior segment manifestations. MATERIALS AND METHODS: A retrospective case series of consecutive @entity1 presenting with posterior segment @entity11102 , over a 5-year period (2010 to 2015), at two ophthalmological centres in Midi-Pyr  n  es. RESULTS: Twelve @entity1 (17 eyes) were included, of whom 11 (92%) presented with rapidly decreasing visual acuity, with 6 of these (50%) extremely abrupt. @entity11102 was bilateral in 5 (42% of all @entity1 ). Posterior manifestations were: 12 instances of @entity4 (100%), 8 of focal @entity6519 (67%) and only 6 of the classic @entity1103 with macular star (25% at first examination, but 50% later). Other @entity532 developed in three @entity1 ; one developed acute @entity6810 , one a @entity548 and one a branch retinal @entity432 , all secondary to occlusive @entity1333 adjacent to focal @entity6519 . CONCLUSION: Classical @entity2479 with macular star is not the only clinical presentation of @entity11102 . Practitioners should screen for @entity2711 in all @entity1 with @entity1829 or focal @entity6519 .
