Sarcoidosis With Optic Nerve and Retinal Involvement

Fluorescein iris angiography in nodular sarcoid iritis

“…In four of the five patients the iris lesions were more or less localized although multiple. A similar exudative fibrous course of sarcoid uveitis has also been reported by others (2,4). In one of the present patients, after the nodular phase, a fibrovascular membrane developed all over the iris.…”

Central retinal vein occlusion : an uncommon complication in sarcoidosis

“…Rarer cases of CRVO in the setting of sarcoidosis have been reported in the literature in the form of isolated cases. Gass and Olson [9], Kimmel et al [10], Denis et al [11] and M. Momtchilova et al [12] describe cases of unilateral CRVO in sarcoidosis very similar to our patient. A prospective Greek study of 50 patients with histologically proven pulmonary sarcoidosis on trans-branch biopsy, which investigated ocular manifestations during sarcoidosis, showed that 7 patients had CRVO [13].…”

A clinical approach to the diagnosis of retinal vasculitis

“…These findings correspond to the clinical findings of sheathing [2]. Ocular pathologic reports in sarcoidosis showed numerous epithelioid cell nodules centered around retinal blood vessels corresponding to the clinical appearance of perivascular exudates with an appearance like candle wax drippings [3]. Eyes affected by Behçet's disease showed lymphocytic infiltration of retinal vessel walls and perivascular space [4] (Fig.…”
