Abstract
ObjectiveCategorization of patients diagnosed with ocular sarcoidosis during the period 2009–2014. MethodsThe medical records of patients with ocular sarcoidosis were reviewed and variables were collected to categorize the patients according to the criteria of the FIWOS. ResultsWe found 11 patients, 7 women and 4 men, with sarcoid uveitis; the median age was 58 years. Bilateral panuveitis was the most common pattern (54.5%), followed by chronic anterior uveitis (27.2%). The diagnosis of sarcoidosis was definitive in 4 patients (36.3%), presumed in 5 (45.4%), probable in 1 (9%) and possible in 1 (9%). ConclusionsOcular sarcoidosis was diagnosed in more than half of the patients who had no confirmatory biopsy. Bilateral panuveitis and chronic anterior uveitis were the patterns most frequently observed.
