title: [Choroidal white dots and sarcoidosis].
abstract: BACKGROUND
  Sarcoidosis is a multisystemic disease characterized by a noncaseating granuloma. Posterior segment disease with white choroidal dots occurs in only 5% of sarcoidosis cases with ocular involvement.
  
  
  METHODS
  We report here the case of a 45-year-old Caucasian patient complaining of a skin rash. The biomicroscopic examination of the posterior poles revealed bilateral choroidal white dots with kidney insufficiency. A kidney and skin biopsy revealed the diagnosis of sarcoidosis.
  
  
  CONCLUSIONS
  This case is a rare example of posterior segment manifestation in sarcoidosis that must be considered when observing white choroidal dots.
