Unusual Primary Ocular Manifestation of Sarcoidosis,

26m

by S.Karger AG via Case Reports in Ophthalmology

A 23-year-old male patient presented with very mild visual disturbances, but a distinct prominence of the optic discs, more pronounced in the right than in the left eye. The ophthalmic symptoms initially seemed trivial, but a large-scale interdisciplinary workup later identified them as the presenting symptoms of sarcoidosis affecting lung and eyes. A standard steroid monotherapy successfully caused regression of the ophthalmic findings.
