Abstract

The article presents a case study of a 19-month-old South Asian boy, who was diagnosed with juvenile xanthogranuloma (JXG). Topics mentioned include early diagnosis of exotropia and loss of vision, the further tests showing bilateral retinal detachment and the examination of several skin lesions. The article states the need to involve ophthalmology review as ocular JXG could include uveitis, hyphema and glaucoma.
