Two Gaucher disease patients experienced uveitis, with varied outcomes. One case responded well to corticosteroids, while another progressed despite enzyme replacement therapy.

Area of Science:

Ophthalmology
Genetics
Internal Medicine

Background:

Gaucher disease is a rare genetic disorder.
Chronic uveitis is an ocular inflammation.

Observation:

This study reports on two patients with type I Gaucher disease and uveitis.
The incidence of uveitis in Gaucher disease patients was found to be 0.4%.

Findings:

Uveitis management varied significantly between the two patients.
One patient achieved long-term uveitis control with topical corticosteroids.
The other patient experienced uveitis progression despite enzyme replacement therapy.

Implications:

These findings highlight the heterogeneous presentation and response to treatment of uveitis in Gaucher disease.

Further research is needed to understand the complex interplay between Gaucher disease and ocular inflammation.

Management strategies for uveitis in Gaucher disease patients may require individualized approaches.
