↵Extension of retinal exudates.12 (I) Indicates exudates restricted to the area between the ora serrata and vortex vein; (II) exudates between vortex vein and vascular arcades; (III) exudates beyond vascular arcades; IIt, exudates involving the entire 360° area II; and IIp, partial degree of area II. Visual acuity: initial/final, visual acuities when patients first consulted us and most recent. ^†VZV dermatitis indicated the previous history of the presence of VZV dermatitis. ^‡Patient 9 had had surgery for fibrous dysplasia in his left sphenoid sinus and showed optic atrophy postoperatively.
