“…17 We found a higher incidence of ocular manifestations, including intraocular inflammation in NS, compared to that in systemic sarcoidosis found by other authors. 4,13,18 Whether this is a consequence of a similar pathogenesis in venous retinal sheathing and perivascular meningeal lesions as reported in sarcoid angiitis 19 is not clear. However, our position as tertiary referral centers may have biased our results toward a higher prevalence of ophthalmological complications than identified in other series.…”

“…Uma conduta expectante poderá ser indicada quando não houver envolvimento de órgãos vitais ou doença ocular com risco de perda da visão (3) . O acometimento ocular ocorre em 25 -50% (5)(6) dos casos e pode ser a manifestação inicial da sarcoidose em vários pacientes, precedendo algumas vezes em muitos anos o envolvimento pulmonar (7) . Quase todas estruturas oculares podem ser afetadas, sendo predominante o envolvimento do trato uveal, da conjuntiva e da glândula lacrimal (8) .…”

“…Papers show that the disease is more commonly seen among young adults in their third to fourth decade of life (3,4) . Eye involvement happens in 25 to 50% of patients presenting systemic sarcoidosis (5) . The retinal features are: vasculitis with vascular sheathing, nodular granulomatous phlebitis with a candle wax dripping pattern (6) , granulomatous chorioretinitis, and papilledema usually related to simultaneous central nervous system involvement, which may occur in the absence of additional eye inflammation.…”

“…It is important to put together a multidisciplinary medical evaluation and a proper laboratory investigation in order to reach the precise diagnosis. Ophthalmologists have an important task in the diagnosis of sarcoidosis, since the eyes are affected in the beginning of the disease in up to 50% of cases (5) , and not always the patient shows eye abnormalities as his first sign.…”
