Autoimmune Liver Disease Associated Uveitis: An Extrahepatic Manifestation or a Polyautoimmunity Phenomenon? Case Reports
OCULAR IMMUNOLOGY AND INFLAMMATION(2024)
摘要
PurposeTo report two cases of non-granulomatous unilateral anterior uveitis in two female patients associated with autoimmune liver diseases (ALD), emphasizing the possibility of this rare coexistence as a polyautoimmunity phenomenon.Case descriptionsCase 1: An 18-year-old female with a history of congenital renal hypoplasia and metabolic syndrome presented with anterior uveitis in OS and a history of jaundice, blood elevated hepatic enzymes, and cholangioresonance compatible with primary sclerosing cholangitis (PSC). Laboratory work-up for additional autoimmune and infective causes were within normal limits. Case 2: An 58-year-old female presented an episode of anterior uveitis in OD and a history of Sjogren syndrome diagnosed at the age of 53, primary biliary cholangitis (PBC), systemic sclerosis, Raynaud's phenomenon, bilateral sacroiliitis, and vitiligo, consistent with polyautoimmunity and multiple autoimmune syndrome.ConclusionsUveitis rarely coexists with ALD. However, it is essential to recognize the possibility of polyautoimmunity in patients presenting with ophthalmic manifestations and a previous diagnosis of ALD, such as PSC or PBC.
