Chorioretinitis associated with weber-christian disease.
OBJECTIVE
To report the association between Weber-Christian disease and an intraocular inflammation.


METHODS
Case report.


RESULTS
We report the case of a 62-year-old woman who presented with a granulomatous panuveitis and focal chorioretinitis accompanied by systemic signs of Weber-Christian disease, which is an idiopathic relapsing nodular panniculitis, confirmed by a biopsy showing a lobular panniculitis in a nodule of the arm. The evolution was favorable under long-term oral prednisolone administration.


CONCLUSIONS
Ocular involvement is a rare feature of Weber-Christian Disease. Neverthless, fat tissue examination should be considered in presence of an ocular inflammation of unknown origin and a skin biopsy can be helpful in this context.
