PURPOSE: To present a case of multifocal choroidal nodules as the sole manifestation of systemic sarcoidosis with role of PET- CT Scan.
METHODS: Retrospective observational case report.
RESULTS: A 66 -year-old male presented with blurring of vision in left eye since 2 weeks. He had no systemic complaints. On fundus examination in left eye showed three well -defined choroidal nodules inferotemporal to optic disc. A negative mantoux test, elevated serum angiotensin converting enzyme level and PET scan analysis helped to clinch the diagnosis of sarcoid uveitis. The choroidal nodules completely resolved after a course of oral corticosteroid.
CONCLUSION: Multifocal choroidal nodules can be the sole manifestation of systemic sarcoidosis.
