Heerfordt syndrome in adolescence

Abstract

Heerfordt syndrome, a rare neurological involvement in sarcoidosis, is a syndrome characterized by bilateral uveitis, facial paralysis, fever, and is indicated by signs of parotitis. A fifteen-year-old male patient with fever, and vomiting was admitted to our clinic with a complaint of swelling of parts in both cheeks. During the follow-up of the patient, parotitis, formation of maculopapular rash, facial paralysis, and bilateral anterior uveitis syndrome was developed. Suspecting a diagnosis of Heerfordt, a Gallium-67 scintigraphy was performed. Increased activity was observed in the parotid and salivary and lacrimal glands. The patient was diagnosed with sarcoidosis and steroid therapy was began. The result of the fine needle aspiration biopsy was negative. This case is presented in order to emphasize the unusal co-existence of parotitis and facial paralysis.
