Abstract

Granuloma annulare is a well-known skin disease characterised by small papules arranged in a ring around a lesion with a normal atrophic centre. It may have variable clinical presentations and associations. Herein, we describe its novel ocular association with inflammatory granulomatous corneal disease (IGCD). It was observed in a young patient diagnosed with granuloma annulare. His symptoms included blurring of vision associated with photophobia in both eyes. There was marked stromal oedema with corneal haze at variable depths and mild anterior chamber flare. It resolved completely with topical steroids. This case discusses a unique manifestation of multisystemic IGCD with granuloma annulare that may co-exist with skin lesions. To the best of our knowledge, this unique entity has not been described in the literature previously.
