Anterior uveitis in geographic or serpiginous choroiditis

Am J Ophthalmol. 1978 Aug;86(2):228-32. doi: 10.1016/s0002-9394(14)76817-5.

Abstract

A 51-year-old man and a 45-year-old man had geographic or serpiginous choroiditis and anterior uveitis as shown by ophthalmoscopy and fluorescein angiography. Anterior uveitis, a previously undescribed feature of this disease, was found in both patients. Despite clear-cut evidence of inflammatory disease, corticosteroid therapy generally proved to be ineffective.
