N2 - PURPOSE: To report a case of a young woman with a history of sarcoidosis who developed retinal granulomas. METHODS: Case report. RESULTS: A 33-year old woman with history of sarcoidosis with involvement of the central nervous system, confirmed by skin biopsy, bronchoscopy, and neuroimaging, presented with visual loss and was found to have choroidal and optic nerve granulomas in the left eye, and subsequently developed retinal granulomas in the left eye. CONCLUSION: Retinal granuloma is a rare manifestation of sarcoidosis.
