Abstract
Microscopic polyangiitis is a necrotizing vasculitis associated with antineutrophil cytoplasmic antibodies (ANCA) that primarily affects small-caliber vessels. We report the case of a 52-year-old woman in whom microscopic polyangiitis was revealed by central retinal vein occlusion. The clinical outcome under corticosteroid therapy combined with cyclophosphamide was favorable, with improvement in both renal and ocular manifestations.
