Abstract

The case presented is a 66-year-old woman who attended the emergency department due to skin lesions on the limbs, facial oedema, and eye redness accompanied by haemorrhagic conjunctivitis. The symptoms resolved after one week of systemic steroid treatment. Skin biopsy confirmed Sweet syndrome.

Sweet syndrome is rare disorder and unknown by most ophthalmologists despite its frequent ophthalmological manifestations. Ocular involvement is present in one third of patients, with episcleritis and conjunctivitis being the most repeated. Pathology findings confirm the diagnosis which is also characterised by a rapid response to systemic corticosteroids.

Keywords:
Sweet syndrome
Acute febrile neutrophilic dermatosis
Conjunctivitis
Resumen

Presentamos el caso clínico de una mujer de 66 años que acudió a urgencias por lesiones cutáneas en miembros tanto superiores como inferiores, edema facial y enrojecimiento ocular, acompañados de conjuntivitis hemorrágica. Tras pautar corticoides sistémicos el cuadro se resolvió en una semana. La biopsia cutánea confirmó que se trataba de un síndrome de Sweet.

El síndrome de Sweet es una enfermedad infrecuente y desconocida para la mayor parte de los oftalmólogos a pesar de cursar con manifestaciones oftalmológicas. La afectación ocular está presente en un tercio de los pacientes, siendo los más usuales la epiescleritis y la conjuntivitis. El diagnóstico de confirmación es histopatológico y se caracteriza por una rápida respuesta a los corticoides sistémicos.

Palabras clave:
