K. L. Cohen, R. L. Peiffer Jr and D. A. Powell
Uveitis in the very young child may be a manifestation of sarcoidosis. A
case of sarcoidosis with intraocular inflammation that occurred in a child
2 years 7 months old is reported. The diagnosis was supported by biopsy of
uncommon bulbar conjunctival nodules. Knowledge by the ophthalmologists
that this disease can occur in children younger than 5 years of age may be
crucial to the establishment of proper diagnosis.
