    Abstract:
    OBJECTIVE: Categorization of patients diagnosed with ocular sarcoidosis during the period 2009-2014. METHODS: The medical records of patients with ocular sarcoidosis were reviewed and variables were collected to categorize the patients according to the criteria of the FIWOS. RESULTS: We found 11 patients, 7 women and 4 men, with sarcoid uveitis; the median age was 58 years. Bilateral panuveitis was the most common pattern (54.5%), followed by chronic anterior uveitis (27.2%). The diagnosis of sarcoidosis was definitive in 4 patients (36.3%), presumed in 5 (45.4%), probable in 1 (9%) and possible in 1 (9%). CONCLUSIONS: Ocular sarcoidosis was diagnosed in more than half of the patients who had no confirmatory biopsy. Bilateral panuveitis and chronic anterior uveitis were the patterns most frequently observed.
