Journal Title: Scholars Journal of Medical Case Reports - Year 2017, Vol 5, Issue 8
Abstract
Pseudoxanthoma elasticum (PXE) is a hereditary disease characterized by skin, ocular, and cardiovascular lesions. The main ocular feature of PXE is the presence of angioid streaks in the retina. Methods: We report the case of a patient with PXE. The diagnosis of PXE was made by the presence of cutaneous lesions typically. Results: For our patient, the ophthalmological manifestations of PXE were the angioid streaks and “peau d’orange“without choroidal neovascularization.The particularity of our case was the onset of Granulomatous anterior uveitis. Conclusions: Is this an unusual manifestation of PXE or just a coincidence? Only a systematic and regular ophthalmological examination of new PXE cases can answer this question.
