SAPHO: rare or just not recognized?
The SAPHO syndrome may be underrecognized as the skin manifestations in our patients were mild or absent. Although optimal treatment for these patients remains unclear, it is important to make the diagnosis of SAPHO to avoid unnecessary investigations and treatment.
Contrary to previous reports, we could not observe an increased incidence of late onset OAG or ocular hypertension after vitrectomy. Similarly, the removal of the lens did not increase the risk of OAG or ocular hypertension in vitrectomized eyes.
