Fuchs's heterochromic cyclitis in congenital ocular toxoplasmosis.
We report a follow-up after 25 years of a patient with a congenital bilateral ocular toxoplasmosis who developed Fuchs's heterochromic cyclitis in her left eye. Whether Toxoplasma gondii can cause the development of Fuchs's heterochromic cyclitis, as our case suggests, or whether the iridocyclitis is a secondary ocular response to other agents, is not yet clear.
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 کاملDoes autoimmunity to S-antigen play a role in Fuchs' heterochromic cyclitis?
Autoimmunity directed against retinal or choroidal antigens has been suggested to play a role in the chorioretinal lesions observed in patients with Fuchs' heterochromic cyclitis. This hypothesis was addressed and patients with Fuchs' heterochromic cyclitis were tested for cellular immunity (migration inhibitory factor assay) against human retinal S-antigen. A significantly higher percentage of...
متن کاملFuchs heterochromic cyclitis: rubella virus antibodies and genome in aqueous humor.
PURPOSE To characterize the polyspecific intraocular antibody synthesis in aqueous humor of patients with chronic inflammatory diseases of the eye and to detect the causative antigen in Fuchs heterochromic cyclitis (FHC). DESIGN Retrospective case-control study. METHODS Intraocular antibody synthesis is detected in aqueous humor with the Antibody Index [AI] (improved Goldmann-Witmer Index) ...
متن کاملFuchs' 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 کاملHigh incidence of corneal epithelium antibodies in Fuch's heterochromic cyclitis.
Sera obtained from 26 patients with Fuchs' heterochromic cyclitis were examined for the presence of autoantibodies directed against the anterior segment of the eye by means of immunofluorescence techniques. Antibodies against human iris tissue could not be detected, whereas autoantibodies against corneal epithelium were found in almost 90% of cases. This is the first report describing the prese...
