TLDR Satoyoshi syndrome can cause eye problems like uveitis and retinal vein issues.
A 32-year-old woman with Satoyoshi syndrome experienced sudden visual disturbances and was diagnosed with granulomatous pan-uveitis and impending central retinal vein occlusion (CRVO). Treatment with increased doses of prednisolone, oral aspirin, and kallidinogenase improved her retinal condition and visual acuity. However, she later developed uncontrollable intraocular pressure (IOP), necessitating surgical interventions. This case suggests a potential link between Satoyoshi syndrome and uveitis, but more cases are needed to clarify this relationship.
