    Retinal changes can be the first sign of systemic sarcoidosis in some patients. Ophthalmologists should consider systemic sarcoidosis evaluation when characteristic retinal findings are observed.

    Area of Science:

    • Ophthalmology
    • Rheumatology
    • Systemic Autoimmune Diseases

    Background:

    • Ocular involvement is common in systemic sarcoidosis.
    • Anterior uveitis is the most recognized ocular manifestation.
    • Retinal findings are often overlooked as an initial presentation.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To highlight retinal changes as an early indicator of systemic sarcoidosis.
    • To emphasize the diagnostic significance of retinal findings in sarcoidosis.
    • To alert ophthalmologists to the possibility of systemic disease.

    Main Methods:

    • Retrospective case series of ten patients.
    • Clinical examination focusing on ocular and retinal findings.
    • Systemic evaluation to confirm sarcoidosis diagnosis.

    Main Results:

    • All ten patients presented with retinal changes as the initial sign of systemic sarcoidosis.
    • Retinal findings were more prominent than anterior uveitis.
    • Diagnosis of systemic sarcoidosis was confirmed following suspicion based on retinal examination.

    Conclusions:

    • Characteristic retinal findings can be the presenting manifestation of systemic sarcoidosis.
    • Ophthalmologists should consider evaluating for systemic sarcoidosis in patients with specific retinal changes.
    • Early recognition of retinal signs may lead to timely diagnosis and management of systemic sarcoidosis.
