Abstract

Purpose

To report a case of Juvenile Idiopathic Arthritis (JIA) with anterior uveitis and vasculitis.

Methods

Report of one case.

Results

A 16-year-old female with a history of refractory JIA for ten years, was diagnosed with concurrent vasculitis on exam and underwent fluorescein angiography (FA). Treatment was changed to adalimumab and methotrexate to resolve ocular inflammation.

Conclusion

This report demonstrates a rare finding of JIA-associated uveitis with vasculitis. Future studies are needed to evaluate the incidence of posterior segment involvement in patients with JIA uveitis.
