Panuveitis associated with granuloma annulare in a child.
A 5-year-old child developed panuveitis with choroidal lesions. Topical steroid medications were insufficient to control the inflammation long-term. Granuloma annulare was subsequently diagnosed in association with the uveitis. Systemic immunosuppression with methotrexate was eventually required to control the skin lesions and uveitis. Uveitis associated with granuloma annulare may present with choroidal lesions and panuveitis in children.
