Bilateral papillitis associated with bilateral anterior uveitis in a child.
Slit-lamp and dilated fundus examination of a 6-year-old boy revealed bilateral anterior uveitis associated with optic disk edema with mild leakage on fluorescein angiography in both eyes. Anterior uveitis resolved with topical therapy in 3 months and optic disk edema and fluorescein leakage 1 month later. Optic nerve function was intact. Resolution of optic disk edema followed that of anterior uveitis with no sequelae.
