Anatomy and Physiology
Uvea consists of : Iris, Ciliary body,
Choroid
Vascular rich Tunica vasculosa
Vascular layer ; the eyes major blood
supply
Primary function : supply
nourishment to the ocular
structure


Sagittal view of the eye
IRIS
Dividing aquous humour into Anterior Chamber
and Posterior Chamber
Central iris ( pupil ) control the amount of light
entering the eye
Miosis -- Mydriasis

CILIARY BODY
Produce Aquous Humor
Contribute the maintenance IOP
Ciliary muscles for Accomodation
CHOROID
Nutrition to the external half of the retina

UVEITIS
The inflammation of the uvea
Causes : infectious, traumatic, neoplastic,
autoimmune

Symptoms
1. Blurred Vision
Refractive error associated with macular edem
Opacities in the visual axis : inflammatory cells,
fibrin, keratic precipitate (KP)
Second cataract, vitreus debris

2. Redness
Pericorneal injection : Ciliary flush
3. Pain
Iris spasme
4. Photophobia, lacrimation
SIGNS
Ciliary flush : pericorneal injection
Anterior chamber reaction : KP, cells, flare,
fibrin, hypopion, pigment dispersion
Pupillary miosis : iris edem
Iris nodule ( granulomatous uveitis)
Synechia : S.Anterior, S.Posterior

AQUOUS FLARE
KERATIC PRECIPITATES
PIGMENT DEPOSITS ON THE LENS
POSTERIOR SYNECHIA
KERATIC PRECIPITATES
Classification
Clinic. And pathologic grounds
- Nongranulomatous
- Granulomatous

Anatomical IUSG ( International Uveitis Study
Group)
Anterior uveitis
Intermediate uveitis
Posterior uveitis
Panuveitis : diffuse uveitis

Anterior Uveitis
Iritis Iridocyclitis keratouveitis sklero
uveitis
Sterile inflammatory reaction
Some cases of unknown cause after
resolve in 6 week (idiophatic iritis)
Low grade inflammatory associated
(idiophatic iritis) : JRA, Fuchs
heterochromatic iridicyclitis

Intermediate Uveitis
Externally eye appears quite
Floaters
Chronic Cystoid macular edema
Posterior uveitis
Quite appearancy or with infiltrate
Retinitis, choroiditis, chorioretinitis
Infectious : viral, bacterial, protozoa,
fungal
Cause of uveitis
Clinical
Laboratory and medical examination
Ancillary testing
- Fluorosein angiography (FFA)
- USG
- Vitreous biopsy (vitrectomy)

Treatment
A. MEDICAL THERAPY
1. Cycloplegic
- relieve pain
- break synechia
- prevent synechia
2. Corticosteroid
a. Topical
b. Perioculer
c. Systemic
d. Intravitreal
3. Immunosuppressive
B. SURGICAL

CORTICOSTEROID
The mainstay of uveitis therapy
Potential side effect
Specific indication
1. Active inflammation in the eye
2. Prevention or treatment cystoid macular
edema
3. Reduction of inflammation of retina,
choroid or optic nerve
Route administration of steroid
Topical : ED, EO, primary for anterior uveitis
Periocular for intemediate uveitis
Systemic, oral, intravenous for vision threatening
chronic uveitis
Intravitreal for chronic uveitis and cystoid macular
edema
IMMUNOSUPPRESSIVE
INDICATION :
Vision threatening intraocular inflammation
Reversibility of disease process
Inadequate response to steroid treatment
Contraindication of steroid (intorelable side effects)

Immunosuppressive : cyclosporine, chlorambucil,
methotrexate

COMPLICATION OF UVEITIS
1. Iris involvement : synechia ( anterior &/posterior),
disturbance of aquous humor flow secondary
glaucoma
The meshwork clogged by inflammatory cells or
debris, IOP increased secondary glaucoma
2. Cataract formation
3. Chronic uveitis macular edema
4. Fibrin of vitreous traction retinal detachment




SECONDARY GLAUCOMA
POSTERIOR SYNECHIA
SECONDARY CATARACT
