To present an uncommon instance of bilateral panuveitis associated with ulcerative colitis, characterized by serous ciliary body and choroidal detachment.
Key Findings:
The patient exhibited bilateral optic disc swelling and peripheral choroidal detachment.
Indocyanine green angiography revealed multiple patchy hypofluorescent lesions.
Initial visual acuity was 20/60 in the right eye and 20/100 in the left eye; after treatment, visual acuity improved significantly to 20/20 in the right eye and 20/30 in the left eye.
Interpretation:
Bilateral panuveitis can occur in patients with ulcerative colitis, necessitating prompt diagnosis and treatment to prevent potential vision loss.
Limitations:
The case is based on a single patient, limiting generalizability.
Long-term outcomes beyond the 9-month follow-up are not reported, which may affect the understanding of treatment efficacy.
Conclusion:
Timely diagnosis and corticosteroid treatment are crucial for optimal recovery in cases of uveitis linked to ulcerative colitis, particularly to prevent vision loss.
