چکیده

Ancillary investigations are the backbone of uveitis workup for posterior segment inflammations. They help in establishing the differential diagnosis and making certain diagnosis by ruling out certain pathologies and are a useful aid in monitoring response to therapy during follow-up. These investigations include fundus photography including ultra wide field angiography, fundus autofluorescence imaging, fluorescein angiography, optical coherence tomography and multimodal imaging. This review aims to be an overview describing the role of these retinal investigations for posterior uveitis.

Role of Autofluorescence in Inflammatory/Infective Diseases of the Retina and Choroid

Fundus autofluorescence (FAF) has recently emerged as a novel noninvasive imaging technique that uses the fluorescent properties of innate fluorophores accumulated in the retinal pigment epithelium (RPE) to assess the health and viability of the RPE/photoreceptor complex. Recent case reports suggest FAF as a promising tool for monitoring eyes with posterior uveitis helping to predict final visu...

Complement anaphylatoxin receptors C3aR and C5aR are required in the pathogenesis of experimental autoimmune uveitis.

Recent studies have suggested that reagents inhibiting complement activation could be effective in treating T cell mediated autoimmune diseases such as autoimmune uveitis. However, the precise role of the complement anaphylatoxin receptors (C3a and C5a receptors) in the pathogenesis of autoimmune uveitis remains elusive and controversial. We induced experimental autoimmune uveitis in mice defic...

Parafoveal cone abnormalities and recovery on adaptive optics in posterior uveitis

Purpose To determine if adaptive optics (AO) flood illumination imaging can detect subclinical changes in 4 cases of posterior uveitis affecting the outer retina. Observations In all 4 cases, the affected eye showed altered areas in the photoreceptor mosaic on AO that corresponded to changes on other imaging modalities. Abnormalities not apparent on other imaging modalities were also noted. I...
