Sarcoidosis/diagnosis, Trabecular Meshwork, Uveitis/diagnosisAbstract
Uveitis is an important cause of visual loss in sarcoidosis patients. Although diagnostic approaches have changed over the past decade, clinical and laboratory findings appear to be insufficient for diagnosing ocular sarcoidosis. The authors report the case of a patient with atypical sarcoidosis-associated uveitis, highlighting the importance of specific trabecular meshwork nodules for establishing diagnosis.Downloads
