Abstract. Purpose:To report a case of frosted branch angiitis. Case:A 66-year-old female sought medical advice for blurring in her right eye. Findings:Corrected visual acuity was 0.4 right and 0.7 left. The right fundus showed frosted branch angiitis. Optical coherence tomography(OCT)showed high-intensity signal in the inner layer of the retina in areas of angiitis. She was found positive for human T-cell leukemia virus. The home town of the patient was Kumamoto Prefecture in Kyushu. These findings led to the diagnosis of uveitis related to human T-cell leukemia virus. Topical instillation of betamethasone resulted in normalization of fundus findings. She developed another episode of similar fundus lesion in the left eye 4 months later. Conclusion:This case illustrates that frosted branch angiitis may be related with infection by T-cell leukemia virus.
