Peripheral uveitis in three children of one family.
Peripheral uveitis presenting in three siblings is described. The course and response to treatment in each youngster is detailed. Periocular and local corticosteroid therapy was effective. Etiologic evaluation and immunologic surveys proved unrewarding. Ophthalmological evaluation of families seems warranted following the detection of peripheral uveitis in any of its members.
