Overview
We refer about a 47 years old woman patient with polymorphous complaints, in which the ophthalmologic examination with the findings of bilateral choroiditis and papilitis in the right eye helped to establish the diagnosis of sarcoidosis. According to the ophthalmic finding only, the treatment with Prednisone was started. With this treatment, the ocular findings improved, and polymorphous symptoms subsided. We stress the importance of good interdisciplinary cooperation.
Key words:
sarcoidosis, eye symptoms
