OBJECTIVE
To report a case of bilateral panuveitis in a patient with hypohidrotic ectodermal dysplasia.
METHODS
Interventional case report.
METHODS
A 6-year-old African-American boy with hypohidrotic ectodermal dysplasia presented with pain, photophobia, and decreased vision in both eyes.
RESULTS
Findings included severe bilateral panuveitis with optic disk edema, macular epiretinal membrane, peripheral retinal vasculitis, and retinitis. All other known causes of panuveitis were explored and ruled out.
CONCLUSIONS
The abnormal development of tissues of ectodermal origin evident in hypohidrotic ectodermal dysplasia may include a predisposition to panuveitis.
