To present a case of multifocal choroidal nodules as the sole manifestation of systemic sarcoidosis with role of PET- CT Scan.
Retrospective observational case report.
A 66 -year-old male presented with blurring of vision in left eye since 2 weeks. He had no systemic complaints. On fundus examination in left eye showed three well -defined choroidal nodules inferotemporal to optic disc. A negative mantoux test, elevated serum angiotensin converting enzyme level and PET scan analysis helped to clinch the diagnosis of sarcoid uveitis. The choroidal nodules completely resolved after a course of oral corticosteroid.
Multifocal choroidal nodules can be the sole manifestation of systemic sarcoidosis.

回顾性观察病例报告。
一名 66 岁男性因左眼视力模糊 2 周就诊。他没有全身症状。左眼眼底检查显示视盘下颞侧有三个界限清楚的脉络膜结节。结核菌素试验阴性、血清血管紧张素转换酶水平升高和 PET 扫描分析有助于确诊结节病性葡萄膜炎。经口服皮质类固醇治疗后,脉络膜结节完全消退。
