Résumé
To evaluate the contribution of chest X-ray and chest CT for the diagnosis of sarcoid uveitis. Retrospective study on consecutive patients with uveitis of unknown etiology, who underwent both chest X-ray and CT during uveitis diagnosis workup in a tertiary French university hospital. A total of 914 patients were included. Systemic sarcoidosis was identified in 23.1%. The probability of discordance between chest X-ray and CT increased with age at diagnosis ( We recommend not to perform CT in patients under 30 years of age with a normal chest X ray and ACE level, and suggest performing chest CT first in the elderly.
