Epithelial downgrowth masquerading as granulomatous anterior and intermediate uveitis with histopathologic evidence of 5-FU treatment
This case demonstrates an unusual presentation of EDG in a young patient with granulomatous anterior and intermediate uveitis, where simple office-based procedures of Argon laser photocoagulation and anterior chamber paracentesis helped aid in diagnosis and management. Histopathological examination in serial specimens demonstrated the effect of 5-FU on EGD. To our knowledge, this case is the first to describe histopathological reduction in epithelial cell burden with sustained resolution.
