UVEAL TRACT
UVEITIS
Inflammation of the uveal tract (middle layer of eye) can
affect the iris the ciliary body or the choroid.
CLASSIFICATION OF UVEITIS
• ANTERIOR UVEITIS (IRIDOCYCLITIS)
Inflammation of 1) Iris (Iritis)
2) Pars Plicate (Cyclitis)
• INTERMEDIATE UVEITIS
Inflammation of 1) Pars Plana (Pars Planitis or Posterior Cyclitis)
2)Peripheral Retina (Basal Retinochoroiditis)
3) Vitreous (Vitritis/Hyalitis)
• POSTERIOR UVEITIS
Inflammation of 1) Choroid (Choroiditis)
2) Retina(Retinitis)
• PAN UVEITIS
CLINICAL CLASSIFICATION
• ACUTE UVEITIS
Lasts less than 3 months
• CHRONIC UVEITIS
Lasts more than 3 months (+) Relapses less than 3 months
• RECURRENT UVEITIS
≥ 3 months between 2 episodes
ETIOLOGY
• Auto immune disorders such as, Ankylosing, Spondylitis, Sarcoidosis
• Toxoplasmosis
• Herpes Zoster Virus
• Ocular Candidiasis
• Histo-Plasmosis
• Herpes Simplex Virus
• Tuberculosis
• Syphilis
CAUSES
• NON-GRANULOMATOUS
• GRANULOMATOUS
NON-GRANULOMATOUS
The more common types of Uveitis is the Non-granulomatous
types, which manifests as an acute condition with pain, photophobia,
and pattern of conjunctiva infection, especially around the cornea
CLINICAL MANIFESTATIONS
• The pupils are small, fine precipitates on the posterior corneal surface
and cells in the aqueous humor cell and flare.
• If the Uveitis is severe a Hypopyon (accumulation of pus in the
anterior chamber)
• Repeated attacks of Non-granulomatous anterior Uveitis can cause
anterior synechiae (peripheral iris adheres to the cornea and impedes
outflow of aqueous humor)
• Posterior Synechiae (adherence of the iris and lens)
COMPLICATION
• Cataract
GRANULOMATOUS UVEITIS
It can have a more insidious onset and can involves any portion of
the Uveal tract. It tends to be chronic.
CLINICAL MANIFESTATIONS
• Photophobia
• Pain
• Vision is markedly and adversely affected
• Conjunctival infection is diffuse
• Viteous clouding
• Chorioretnitis- Retinal and choroidal Hemorrhages
DAGNOSIS AND EVALUATION
• History Collection
• Physical Examination
• Complete Blood Count
• Erythrocyte Sedimentation Rate
• Antinuclear Antibodies
MANAGEMENT
• Mydriatics- Cyclopentolate and Atropine
• Local Corticosteroid drops such as Pred Forte 1% and Flare 0.1%
instilled to 6 times per day
• In severe cases, Systemic Coritcosteroids
• Daclizamab (Zenapax) a monoclonal antibody is designed to prevent a
specific needed by immune cells, such as lymphocytes to produce
inflammation.
