Granuloma annulare anterior uveitis.
OBJECTIVE
To present a case of bilateral granuloma annulare anterior uveitis.


METHODS
Case report.


METHODS
Clinical case presentation and review of literature.


RESULTS
A 72-year-old woman with a history of granuloma annulare (GA) presented with acute bilateral granulomatous anterior uveitis. General physical exam revealed hypo- and hyper-pigmented punctate and annular skin lesions on both arms characteristic of GA. Infectious and autoimmune workup revealed a mildly elevated angiotensin converting enzyme (ACE) level. Her uveitis resolved with topical prednisolone and homatropine.


CONCLUSIONS
Granuloma annulare is a rare cause of anterior uveitis that is diagnosed by characteristic skin findings and may be associated with sarcoidosis.
