Purpose:
To describe a case of bilateral panuveitis in a patient with Stimulator of Interferon Genes (STING)-Associated Vasculitis with Onset in Infancy (SAVI).
Observations:
A 45-year-old patient diagnosed with SAVI presented bilateral panuveitis and uncontrolled secondary intraocular hypertension due to structural complications from uveitis. Multimodal imaging revealed the presence of intraretinal fluid and bilateral vasculitis. The patient was started with systemic methotrexate.
Conclusions And Importance:
This case is essential to characterize ocular involvement in patients with SAVI. Awareness of these ocular manifestations is crucial for timely management and improvement of visual prognosis.
