ABSTRACT

Sarcoidosis typically affects young adults with bilateral hilar lympadenopathy, lung parenchymal disease and/or skin lesion. Childhood sarcoidosis is relatively a rare entity. Concurrent ocular and renal involvements are extremely uncommon especially in childhood sarcoidosis. We presented a case of an Asian teenager with bilateral recurrent anterior uveitis and features of renal failure due to childhood sarcoidosis. He showed remarkable clinical improvements after combination of oral corticosteroids and methotrexate. His final visual outcome was satisfactory following augmented trabeculectomy in both eyes due to intractable glaucoma. It is essential to make a prompt diagnosis and initiate proper management to avoid ocular mobidity in this unusual presentation.
