RESUMO
Juvenile xanthogranuloma is a rare, non-neoplastic disease occurring mainly in infants under 1 year of age. We report a 2 ' -month-old infant with typical presentation and signs of this disease. To the best of our knowledge, this is the first case of juvenile xanthogranuloma with ocular signs to be reported in Saudi Arabia. We provide an overview of this rare disease entity [one of the most frequent causes of spontaneous hyphema in the pediatric age group], review the treatment plan for our patient, and describe the complications we encountered in this case
