Abstract

Abstract Sarcoidosis is a multi-system granulomatosis of unknown etiology, defined by the presence of epithelioid and gigantocellular granulomas, without caseous necrosis. Ocular sarcoidosis manifests mainly as bilateral granulomatous anterior uveitis. Occlusion of the central retinal vein in sarcoidosis is a rare manifestation, which is the particularity of our observation. We report the case of a patient presenting with unilateral central retinal vein occlusion associated with granulomatous anterior uveitis on the same side. Systemic manifestations and further investigations led to the diagnosis of sarcoidosis.
