Abstract
Purpose : To describe a rare manifestation of sarcoidosis. Methods : Case report of a patient with histologically proven sarcoidosis, who developed peripapillary choroidal neovascularisation in the absence of uveitis or optic nerve disease. Results : Oral corticosteroids achieved reduction in the size of the peripapillary choroidal neovascularisation. Laser treatment was effective in treating the remaining peripapillary choroidal neovascularisation, resulting in improvement of visual acuity. Conclusions : Isolated peripapillary choroidal neovascularisation is a previously unreported complication of sarcoidosis. A combination of oral corticosteroids and laser can be successful in treating this type of lesion, thereby preventing permanent visual loss.
