JIA related uveitis can have a granulomatous presentation in about one third of patients with the Oligoarticular type and ANA positive, seen in a uveitis referral center. The presence of granulomatous features in bilateral uveitis in ANA-positive pediatric patients should not exclude the diagnosis of JIA-related uveitis, even in the absence of systemic involvement, as this entity presents a much more severe uveitis than other granulomatous anterior uveitis entities.
