  • Abstract
  • Look Inside

We examined 60 patients suspected of ocular sarcoidosis. All the cases showed no abnormalities on chest X-rays and sparse other contributory evidence for sarcoidosis. Transbronchial lung biop-sy showed noncaseating epithelioid granuloma in 37 cases, 62%, and substantiated the diagnosis of sar-coidosis. The intraocular lesions did not differ, either in quality or quantity, between the biopsy-positive and negative patients. Biopsy-positive patients showed higher incidences of positive find-ings in chest CT scan, 67Ga scintigraphy, and lymphocyte fraction in bronchoalveolar lavage sug-gestive of sarcoidosis. A combination of chest CT scan, gallium scintigraphy and serum angiotensin converting enzyme assay is noninvasive and sensi-tive means predicting biopsy-positive patients. Systemic examinations including transbronchial lung biopsy are recommended to establish the diag-nosis of suspected ocular sarcoidosis.
