Intraocular Langerhans cell histiocytosis in a neonate resulting in bilateral loss of vision.

Intraocular involvement in Langerhans cell histiocytosis (LCH) is rare. We describe the case of a neonate with congenital disseminated LCH involving skin, liver, spleen, and intraocular structures including uvea and retina. Early and aggressive treatment according to the LCH-II treatment protocol was administered and resulted in remission of the disease. However, despite close follow-up and additional local treatment, involvement of intraocular structures resulted in severe long-term ophthalmological sequelae including complete bilateral loss of vision.
