High-Yield Explanation
Uveoparotitis (uveoparotid fever or Heerfordt's syndrome) is an uncommon manifestation of sarcoidosis. It is characterised by bilateral granulomatous pan-uveitis, painful enlargement of parotid glands, cranial nerve palsies, skin rashes, fever and malaise. The patient ordinarily comes to medical attention because of visual impairment and a painful eye. The mouth is dry and the parotid gland is swollen. Facial nerve compression and palsy are present in 40% of cases. Ref: Opthalmology By A. K. Khurana, 2007, Page 156
