Abstract:
The authors describe the clinical presentations and ophthalmic findings of two patients with juvenile dermatomyositis. The results of their dilated eye examinations proved to influence the treatment of the disease process because retinal pathology was used as a factor to escalate the degree of anti-inflammatory therapy. Therefore, an initial ophthalmic examination may be considered in patients with new-onset juvenile dermatomyositis.
