ABSTRACT
La esclerosis sistémica es una conectivopatía con unas manifestaciones clínicas muy heterogéneas, relacionándose en un pequeño porcentaje con enfermedades oculares inflamatorias. En el caso concreto de las uveítis, únicamente se han descrito casos aislados en la literatura, sobre todo con relación al síndrome de CREST. Presentamos el caso de una mujer de 53 años, con síndrome de CREST y uveítis anterior crónica, que consideramos de relevancia clínica dada su baja prevalencia
Systemic sclerosis is a connective tissue pathology with very heterogeneous clinical manifestations, associated in a small percentage with inflammatory eye diseases. In the specific case of uveitis, only isolated cases have been reported in the literature, especially in relation to the CREST syndrome. We present the case of a 53-year-old woman with CREST syndrome and chronic anterior uveitis, which we consider of clinical relevance given its low prevalence
