Our patient presented 5 months after being diagnosed with DF. Panuveitis and combined branch retinal artery and vein occlusion could not be attributable to any other cause even though he had systemic vascular risk factors that were well-controlled and his other eye being completely normal. The presence of vitreous cells and the intraretinal hyper reflective dots are pointers toward inflammatory nature of the disease. The inflammation subsided with improvement in vision after a course of oral steroids. Inflammatory combined vascular occlusion in the convalescent phase of DF is vision-threatening and may lead to permanent vision impairment.
