“…Reported HSP cases with ocular involvement includes keratitis and granulomatous uveitis [1,2]; unilateral anterior ischemic optic neuropathy [3]; bilateral central retinal artery occlusion [4]; and subperiosteal orbital hematomas [5]. Bilateral cystoid macular edema and cotton wool spots were previously reported in two patients with Henoch-Schonlein purpura [6,7]. Both of the two patients had high blood pressure and minimal retinal hemorrhages.…”

Background To report a bilateral cystoid macular edema associated with Henoch-Schonleinpurpura. Case presentation A 21-year-old man presented a bilateral, painless, and bilateral blurred vision for 5 weeks with visual acuity (VA) of 6/12 on the right eye and 6/48 on the left. FA and OCT showed bilateral cystoid macular edema, and the fundus photograph showed retinal hemorrhages. Using intravenous dexamethasone could reduce macular edema, but it reoccurred shortly after switching to oral prednisone. Repeated intraocular injection of anti-VEGF in both eyes was performed and VA improved to 6/6 on the right eye and 6/7.5 on the left with the regression of edema after 6 months follow-up. Conclusions Intraocular anti-VEGF might be an alternative choice to glucocorticoid in cases of bilateral cystoid macular edema associated with Henoch-Schonlein purpura.

“…The most encountered ocular involvement was uveitis (n=4) [3][4][5][6], keratitis accompanied in two of these cases [3,4]. There are 2 cases of bilateral cystoid macular edema and cotton wool spots associated with decompensated HSP-related nephropathy [7,8]. The other possible vasculitis-related ocular manifestations in HSP were central retinal artery occlusion, subperiosteal hematoma, episcleritis and anterior ischemic optic neuropathy [9][10][11][12][13].…”

We report a 5-year-old boy who presented with diffuse abdominal pain, non-thrombocytopenic purpuric skin rash, and bilateral multiple foci of subconjunctival hemorrhage in the inferior bulbar conjunctiva. The patient was diagnosed clinically with Henoch-Schonlein purpura (HSP), according to EULAR/PRINTO/PRES criteria. HSP is a leukocytoclastic small vessel vasculitis. Ocular involvement is very rare. Episcleritis, keratitis, uveitis, cystoid macular edema and cotton wool spots, central retinal artery occlusion, anterior ischemic optic neuropathy and subperiosteal hematoma were reported previously. Here, we present a case of bilateral subconjunctival hemorrhage in a child with HSP for the first time in the English literature.

Vasculitis are a group of diseases characterize by the inflammation of the blood vessel walls. They are classified according to the size of the main vessel involved: in large vessel, medium vessel, and small vessel vasculitis. Ophthalmic manifestations are quite common in most of these diseases. Being episcleritis and scleritis the most prevalent manifestation of vasculitis. However, there are certain ocular diseases especially characteristic of specific vasculitis entities. Given the severity and potential life-threat of these diseases, knowledge of the ocular manifestations is mandatory for the ophthalmologists.
