The authors present a case report of a 20-year-old patient with an atypical clinical picture of bilateral vasculitis associated with bilateral macular oedema and decrease in visual acuity. On basis of the clinical picture, frosted branch angiitis was diagnosed. The patient was instructed to continue the broad-spectrum antibiotic therapy prescribed by an ophthalmic practitioner of the appropriate catchment area. The visual acuity progressively improved and after application of systemic corticosteroid therapy the patient’s health state improved completely. According to the author’s knowledge, this is the first diagnosed case of frosted branch angiitis in the Slovak Republic.
