Evidence of past or currently active intraocular inflammation

No evidence of ocular hypertension or glaucomatous changes, likely congenital

Abbreviation: ALPS, autoimmune lymphoproliferative syndrome; FASLG, FAS ligand; U, undetermined Of 29 ALPS patients referred to the National Eye Institute for ocular or visual symptoms or for history of prolonged corticosteroid use, 10 patients had findings on ophthalmologic examination. These findings were varied, and a few patients had multiple findings on examination. Three patients had active intraocular inflammation in both eyes. One patient had remote history of optic neuritis and vitreous hemorrhage secondary to immune-mediated thrombocytopenia with an inactive chorioretinal scar.
