J Pediatr Ophthalmol Strabismus. 2019 Apr 29:56:e38-e40. doi: 10.3928/01913913-20190326-03.

Abstract

Chronic recurrent multifocal osteomyelitis (CRMO) has rarely been associated with uveitis. The authors report a case of new CRMO in a 15-year-old boy with HLA-B27 positive chronic anterior uveitis controlled with methotrexate. This case highlights a potential association between chronic uveitis and CRMO. [J Pediatr Ophthalmol Strabismus. 2019;56:e38-e40.].
