Confocal Scan Features of Keratic Precipitates in Granulomatous versus Nongranulomatous Uveitis
PURPOSE To compare the morphologic features of keratic precipitates (KPs) by confocal microscopy in granulomatous versus nongranulomatous noninfectious uveitis. METHODS KP morphology was determined by confocal scan in patients with noninfectious granulomatous and noninfectious nongranulomatous uveitic cases. RESULTS One hundred and twenty-seven eyes of 90 subjects with noninfectious uveitis...
متن کاملBilateral Birdshot Retinochoroiditis and Retinal Astrocytoma
Background. This case highlights the importance of recognising multiple pathologies within the eye which may not necessarily be linked. Both birdshot retinochoroiditis and astrocytoma are rare conditions. The case underlines the need for early identification and treatment of birdshot retinochoroiditis with steroids and disease modifying drugs. Astrocytoma in the absence of tuberous sclerosis is...
متن کاملWhy birdshot retinochoroiditis should rather be called ‘HLA-A29 uveitis’?
BIRDSHOT RETINOCHOROIDITIS: THE ORIGINS OF THE DISEASE NAME Birdshot retinochoroiditis (BRC) is a uveitis predominantly affecting the posterior segment of the eye with dual, independent retinal and choroidal inflammation and almost only seen in Caucasians. 2 Ryan and Maumenee first described the bilateral retinochoroidal inflammatory disease in early 1980, reporting on 13 patients. These author...
متن کاملEvaluation of corneal endothelium and keratic precipitates by specular microscopy in anterior uveitis.
BACKGROUND The study of corneal endothelium, by specular microscopy, in patients with anterior uveitis has largely been restricted to observations on the endothelial cells. In this prospective study "keratic precipitates" (KP) in different types of uveitis were examined in different stages of the disease process and the endothelial changes occurring in the vicinity of the KP were evaluated in c...
