ANATOMICAL
CLASSIFICATION

ANTERIOR UVEITIS





IRITIS
IRIDOCYCLITIS
INTERMEDIATE
UVEITIS
POSTERIOR
UVEITIS
PANUVEITIS
POSTERIOR UVEITIS

Involves the fundus posterior to the
vitreous base
- Retinitis
- Choroiditis
- Vasculitis
SARCOIDOSIS

Presentation
- Acute
- Insidious
 Ocular features
- AAU
- CAU
- Intermediate
- Candlewax drippings’
- Multifocal choroiditis
- Retinal granulomas
TUBERCULOSIS

Anterior segment involvement

Tuberculous uveitis
- Anterior uveitis,
- Choroiditis
- Periphlebitis
TOXOPLASMOSIS

Presentation
- Unilateral sudden onset of floaters
 Signs
- Spill-over’ anterior uveitis
- Satellite lesion
- Multiple foci are uncommon
- Severe vitritis (‘headlight in the fog’)
TOXOPLASMOSIS
BEHCET SYNDROME

Recurrent oro-genital ulceration

Ocular features

AAU - cold abscess

Retinitis

Retinal vasculitis

Vitritis,
BEHCET SYNDROME
FUNGAL UVIETIS
INVESTIGATIONS
Indications
 Recurrent granulomatous anterior uveitis
 Bilateral disease
 Systemic manifestations with out a specific
diagnosis
 Confirmation of suspective ocular picture
such as HLA-A29 testing in birdshort
chorioretinopathy
NOT NECESSARY

Single attack of mild unilateral acute
anterior uveitis

A specific uveitis entity

When a systemic diagnosis compatible
with the uveitis is already apparent
INVESTIGATIONS

Obtain a history, attempting to define the
etiology.

Complete ocular examination, including an
IOP check and a dilated fundus
examination.
SKIN TESTS
1.
Tuberculin skin test (montoux & Heaf)

Intradermal inj of purified protein

Positive
Induration of 5-14 mm with in 48 hours
Negative


Excludes TB
May occure in advanced disease
PATHERGY TEST

Increased dermal sensitivity to needle trauma

Behcet syndrome

Rarely positive in absence of systemic activity

Pustule formation
SEROLOGY
SYPHILIS
1.
Non-treponemal tests
RPR or VDRL

Primary infection

Monitor disease activity

Response to therapy
2.
Immunofluorescent antibody test
3.
Haemagglutination test
Enzyme-linked Immunosorbent Assay
(ELISA)

Antibodies in aqueous (more specific)

Other conditions (cat-scratch fever & toxocariasis
Antinuclear Antibody (ANA)

In children with JIA who are at high risk of
developing ant uveitis
ENZYME ASSAY
1.
Angiotensin converting enzyme (ACE)

Nonspecific test
Granulomatous disease like
- Sarcoidosis (elevated in 80% & in acute)
- TB
- Leprosy

2.
Lysozyme

Good sensitivity but less speceficity for
sarcoidosis
HLA TISSUE TYPING
HLA type
Associated disease
B27
Spondyloarthropathies
A29
Birdshot chorioretinopathy
B51
Behcet syndrome
HLA-B7 &
POHS & APMPPE
HLA-DR2
IMAGING
1.
Fluorescein angiography (FA)


Retinal vasculitis
CMO
2.
Indocyanine angiography (ICG)

Better for choroidal disease
3.
Ultrasonography (US)

It is useful in opaque media especially in
excluding a RD or intraocular mass
4.
Optical coherence tomography(OCT)

Detecting CMO
Identify vitreoretinal traction as a mechanism
of CMO

BIOPSY
Histopathology still remains the gold-standard
1. conjunctiva And Lacrimal gland
- Sarcoidosis
2.
Aqueous samples
- For (polymerase chain reaction) PCR
- Viral retinitis (occasionally)
3.
Vitreous biopsy
- Infectious endophthalmitis
RADIOLOGY
1.
Chest X-rays
- To exclude TB and Sarcoidosis
2.
Sacro-illiac joint X-Rays
- Diagnosis of spondyloarthropathy
3.
CT & MRI
- Sarcoidosis
- Multiple sclerosis
- Primary intraocular lymphoma
TREATMENT

AIM
Prevent vision threatening complications
 Relieve patients discomfort
 Treat the underlying cause


FOUR GROUP OF DRUGS
Mydriatics
 Steroids
 Cyclosporine
 Cytotoxic agents

TREATMENT

Mydriatics

To give comfort

To prevent formation of posterior synechia

To break down synechia

Drugs (atropine, homatropine, scopolamine,
tropicamide)
TREATMENT

Steroids (mainstay of treatment)

Topical administration

Complications (glaucoma, posterior sub capsular
cataract, corneal complications, systemic side
effects)

Periocular injections

Severe acute anterior uveitis

Adjuvant to topical/systemic

Poor compliance

Pre op
TREATMENT


Systemic therapy
Preparations



Prednisolone 5mg
Indications
Rules





Start with large dose then reduce
Initial dose 1-1.5 mg/kg BW
Before breakfast
Taper off
Less than 2 weeks abrupt stop
TREATMENT

Side effects

Short term

Long term
TREATMENT


Cyclosporin

Steroid sparing agent

Complications are hypertension and nephrotoxicity
Cytotoxic drugs

Potentially blinding bilateral reversible uveitis

Intolerable side effects from systemic steroids
therapy.
