Seasonal Hyperacute Panuveitis from the highest reported altitude: co-occurrence with scleritis – an unusual presentation
SHAPU primarily affects the uveal tissue, but its spread of uveal inflammation to the scleral tissue must be borne in mind. This SHAPU case from a high altitude with intense ocular pain suggests new aspects of SHAPU's pathophysiology, contrasting with its typical painless presentation, warranting further research on the study moth's habitat at higher altitudes.
