title: [Bilateral acute anterior uveitis and anticonvulsant hypersensitivity syndrome].
abstract: METHODS
  A case is presented of a patient who developed skin lesions on the legs and a bilateral anterior uveitis after taking Oxcarbazepine (Trileptal).
  
  
  CONCLUSIONS
  The presence of uveitis in the context of an allergic reaction to an anticonvulsant is a very uncommon and can affect the internal organs. For this reason, it should be taken into account when carrying out a full assessment of a patient with a possible hypersensitivity reaction to a particular drug.
