ABSTRACT
PURPOSE:
To report two cases of non-granulomatous unilateral anterior uveitis in two female patients associated with autoimmune liver diseases (ALD), emphasizing the possibility of this rare coexistence as a polyautoimmunity phenomenon. CASE DESCRIPTIONS Case 1 An 18-year-old female with a history of congenital renal hypoplasia and metabolic syndrome presented with anterior uveitis in OS and a history of jaundice, blood elevated hepatic enzymes, and cholangioresonance compatible with primary sclerosing cholangitis (PSC). Laboratory work-up for additional autoimmune and infective causes were within normal limits. Case 2 An 58-year-old female presented an episode of anterior uveitis in OD and a history of Sjögren syndrome diagnosed at the age of 53, primary biliary cholangitis (PBC), systemic sclerosis, Raynaud's phenomenon, bilateral sacroiliitis, and vitiligo, consistent with polyautoimmunity and multiple autoimmune syndrome.CONCLUSIONS:
Uveitis rarely coexists with ALD. However, it is essential to recognize the possibility of polyautoimmunity in patients presenting with ophthalmic manifestations and a previous diagnosis of ALD, such as PSC or PBC.
