| Title | Corneal haze in patients with presumed sarcoid uveitis |
| Purpose | To describe the finding of inferior corneal haze secondary to presumed sarcoid uveitis in a series of four patients |
| Methods | Retrospective observational case series |
| Results | There was four patients. The ages ranged from 2 to 40 years. Both eyes were affected in all cases. Corneal haze was found in 6 eyes. Corneal examination revealed inferior deep stromal opacity in one eye, subendothelial opacity in one eye, inferior endothelial opacity in two eyes and endothelial fibrinous deposits in two eyes. Associated ocular findings included granulomatous keratic precipitates (n=6 eyes), fine keratic precipitates (n=2 eyes), posterior synechiae (4 eyes), iris nodules (n=2), vitreous opacities (1 eye), snowballs (1 eye) and snowbank (1 eye). Fluorescein angiography showed bilateral segmental and focal peripheral vasculitis in one case. OCT showed cystoid macular edema in one eye. Treatment modalities included topical corticosteroids (n=4), oral corticosteroids (n=1) and Methotrexate (n=2). The corneal opacity resolved under treatment in 4/6 eyes |
| Conclusion | Corneal involvement including stromal and endothelial opacities may occur in patients with presumed ocular sarcoidosis. A prompt treatment may improve the visual prognosis |
