Chorioretinal involvement and vitreous hemorrhage in a patient with juvenile xanthogranuloma.
We describe an unusual presentation of juvenile xanthogranuloma in a 4-year-old girl. Juvenile xanthogranuloma may be associated with posterior manifestations including optic nerve and choroidal granulomas, panuveitis, and vitreous hemorrhage in the absence of the classic anterior segment manifestations.
