Heerfordt syndrome
Heerfordt syndrome (also called uveoparotid fever) manifests as swelling of the parotid glands (due to infiltration with inflammatory cells), inflammation of the eye ( Uveitis ), chronic fever, and less often weakness or paralysis of the facial nerve. Heerfordt syndrome can resolve on its own. Treatment is the same as for sarcoidosis and includes nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs, including corticosteroids.
