This case underscores the rarity of retinal vasculitis in FMF, particularly involving arteries, and highlights the correlation between specific gene mutations (M680I, M694V) and disease severity. The successful management with IL-1 pathway inhibitors suggests a potential therapeutic approach. Increased clinical awareness, further research, and reporting are crucial for optimizing the understanding and treatment of FMF-related ocular manifestations.
