Fuchs' heterochromic cyclitis: review of the literature on the pathogenetic mechanisms.
Fuchs' theory Ernst Fuchs, who first described this disease in 1906, assumed that the syndrome was caused by a noxious factor of unknown origin, which was active from fetal or early postnatal life.' First, the normal development of uveal pigmentation would be inhibited, resulting in heterochromia (Fig 1). Later, the eye would respond to this pathological agent by a low grade inflammation. Many ...
متن کاملGlaucoma in Fuchs' heterochromic cyclitis associated with congenital Horner's syndrome.
We report a retrospective study of five patients with monocular Fuchs' heterochromic cyclitis associated with an ipsilateral Horner's syndrome. The minimum follow-up was 10 years. The presenting findings were cyclitis in three of the patients and heterochromia iridis associated with blepharoptosis in the other two. The major factors affecting all five patients were cataract and glaucoma. The in...

متن کامل[Fuchs' heterochromic cyclitis without heterochromia: a diagnostic approach].
OBJECTIVE To obtain diagnostic guidelines of Fuchs' heterochromic cyclitis (FHC) in the absence of heterochromia using Bayesian methods. METHODS The pre-test and post-test likelihood that a certain patient without heterochromia (but with other characteristic symptoms of the disease such as iris nodules, cataracts, glaucoma or vitritis) has FCH, was assessed by the Bayes' theorem for condition...
متن کاملImmunity to a corneal antigen in Fuchs' heterochromic cyclitis patients.
Immunity to a major corneal antigen was studied in 28 Fuchs' heterochromic cyclitis patients and compared with the response of 44 patients with other types of uveitis and 19 healthy controls. The highest incidence of immune response was found in patients with anterior segment involvement only (anterior uveitis and Fuchs') whereas the frequency of anti-corneal immune response in patients with po...
