Abstract

Immunoglobulin A vasculitis (IgAV) is the most common vasculitis of childhood characterized by petechial or purpuric rash, abdominal pain, arthralgia, and renal involvement. Ophthalmic manifestations of IgAV are uncommon. Herein, we describe a case of bilateral upper eyelid erythema presenting in a 6-year-old male, leading to a diagnosis of IgAV.

Keywords: Henoch-Schönlein purpura; IgA; erythema; ophthalmology; vasculitis.
