Abstract
Buerger’s disease or thromboangiitis obliterans TAO is a rare
arteriopathy, which usually affects young male smokers and is
classically responsible for ischemia of the extremities [1]. Ocular
involvement is rarely described in the literature. We report an unusual
combination of uveitis with TAO in a young man.
