Parinaud Oculoglandular Syndrome 2015: Review of the Literature and Update on Diagnosis and Management

Parnian Arjmand, Paul Yan and Michael D O Connor

Parinaud oculoglandular syndrome (POGS) is an ocular granulomatous inflammatory condition characterized by unilateral follicular bulbar or palpebral conjunctivitis. Although POGS often presents as an atypical manifestation of cat scratch disease (CSD), other infectious and autoimmune etiologies have been described. Due to the rare nature of this ocular syndrome and scarcity of literature on this topic, POGS is often missed on the initial diagnostic workup. Here, we provide a brief description of disease process, and present a review of the literature on POGS in the past two decades to understand the trends in etiology of disease. Based on the results of this review, we also suggest an algorithm for diagnosis and management of POGS.
