Abstract
Two children from the same neighbourhood presented with concomitant granuloma annulare (GA) and intermediate uveitis (IU) at an interval of 2 weeks. A coincidence seemed unlikely, as IU is very rare in children and even more so in connection with GA. Thorough diagnosis was performed to exclude other associated diseases. No systemic disease, no special features of vaccination or medication, no history of infection, and no toxic cause could be found. An association between GA and IU based on other, as yet undiagnosed factors, is still possible. Therefore, when evaluating patients with newly diagnosed IU, clinical work-up should also include medical history and examination to rule out GA.Entities:
