abstract:
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 sec- ondary 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.
