Bilateral corneoscleritis with retrocorneal plaque as the initial presentation of granulomatosis with polyangiitis
This is a unique documented case of corneoscleritis with retrocorneal plaque lesion as the initial presenting feature of GPA. Our case illustrates that the initial ocular manifestations of GPA involving the cornea and sclera may have atypical lesions. Clinicians should cautiously evaluate the patients to enhance the early diagnosis and promptly initiate treatment measures to prevent vision loss.
