Ocular pathology associated with the Weber Christian syndrome.

Anterior and posterior uveitis has been described as an associated feature of the Weber Christian syndrome (Klien, I959), but only one report of a case has thus far appeared in the literature. The presence of uveitis in sections of an eye removed from a patient suffering from Weber Christian disease was described by Theobald (I953). Frayer, Wise, and Tsaltas (i968) described three cases of Weber Christian syndrome with associated ocular features: one patient had a small tender nodule on one eyelid, another had subconjunctival nodules next to the limbus, and the third showed a yellow limbal mass with episcleral and conjunctival congestion. Thus these three cases all showed anterior segment involvement and no uveal tract lesions. The occurrence of bilateral retinal vascular abnormalities and macular haemorrhages in association with the Weber Christian syndrome does not appear to have been reported in the literature.
