Abstract
We report a case of a young male with IgA nephropathy and end-stage renal disease who presented to us with grade 1+ vitritis (SUN working group classification), bilateral optic disc oedema, retinal haemorrhages, macular exudates, cotton wool spots, exudative retinal detachment in both eyes, and a large macular placoid lesion in one eye. We report this case as it was an atypical presentation of a viral non-necrotising retinopathy occurring secondary to Herpes Simplex Virus type 2 (HSV-2) in a patient with IgA nephropathy.
