UVEA

Inflammation Uveitis
Anatomy classification: Anterior uveitis= iridocyclitis Intermediate uveitis Posterior uveitis=choroiditis

Panuveitis=inflammation of
the whole uvea

Epidemiology Uveitis

Adamantiades-Behcets syndrome, and VKH are more common in Japan than in Europe or the United State.Adamantiades-Behcets syndrome seems highly prevalent in Turkey and in China. Tuberculosis remains the main etiology of infectious uveitis in India, Indonesia. Viral uveitis is predominant in the Middle East and in France, followed by Toxoplamosis. Epidemiologic study in northern California: incidence rate 52.4/100,000 person-years. The incidence and prevalence were lowest in the pediatric age groups and highest in those over age 65, women was greater than that man.

Terminology base of: Standardization of Uveitis Nomenclature

Inactive: grade 0 cells (anterior chamber) Worsening activity: 2-step increase in level of inflammation Improved activity : 2-step decrease or decrease to grade 0 Remission: inactive disease for> 3 months after discontinuing all treatments .

Clinical classification: Acute uveitis sudden symptomatic onset and persist for 6 weeks or less Chronic uveitis persists for months or years

Aetiological classification

Exogenous uveitis external injury, invasion microorganisms, other agents to uvea from outside Endogenous uveitis microorganism, other agents within patient

Endogenous Uveitis Associated with systemic disease (ankylosing spondilitis) Infection bacteria (TB), fungi (candidiasis), viruses (herpes zoster), protozoa (toxoplasma), roundworms

(toxocariasis)
Idiopathic specific uveitis entities (Fuchs uveitis syndrome) Idiopathic non-spesific uveitis entities

Pathological classification Granulomatous Non-granulomatous

Clinical Features of Uveitis


Anterior Uveitis

Symptoms Photophobia, pain, redness, decreased vision, lacrimation Sign: Limbus Ciliary injection

Cornea : Keratic precipitates (KP)


Small KP herpes zoster, Fuchs uveitis syndrome Medium KP most types acute and chronic uveitis

Large KP mutton fat granulomatous uveitis


Fresh KP white and round

Mutton fat KP

Iris nodules Koeppe nodules Busacca nodules

Koeppe nodules

Busacca nodule

Anterior chamber: Aqueous cells Sign of active inflammation Graded from 0 to +4: 5-10 cells = +1 11-20 cells = +2 21-50 cells = +3 >50 cells = +4
Aqueous flare Leakage of proteins into aqueous humor through damaged iris blood vessels Faint-just detectable = +1 Moderate-iris details clear= +2 Marked-iris details hazy= +3 Intense-with severe fibrinous exudate= +4

Iris and Pupil : Posterior synechiae Adhesions between the anterior lens surface and iris Anterior vitreous cells

Other signs of anterior uveitis

Hypopyon Fibrin Pupillary miosis Pigment dispersion Synechiae Band keratopathy (seen in longstanding uveitis)

Intermediate Uveitis

Symptoms
floaters, impairment of visual acuity caused by chronic cystoid macular edema Sign Cell infiltration of the vitreous (vitritis), with few, if any, cells in the anterior chamber and no focal inflammatory lesion in fundus

Posterior Uveitis Symptoms floaters and impairment of visual acuity Sign Vitreous change cells, flare, opacities and posterior vitreous detachment Choroiditis Retinitis Vasculitis Three main types: Unifocal (toxoplasmosis, onchocerciasis, cysticercus, Masquerade syndromes) Multifocal (ocular histoplasmosis,sypilis, HSV,VZV,CMV,Candida, Sarcoidosis, Masquerade ) Geographical (CMV retinitis)

Laboratory and Medical Evaluation

Fluorescin angiography; Indocyanine green angiopraphy USG: vitreous opacities, choroidal thickening, retinal detachment, cyclitic membrane formation. OCT: to measure of uveitic CME. Anterior chamber paracentesis: Goldmann-Witmer coefficient is gold standard for diagnosis of Toxoplasmosis in Europe, PCR is valuable tool in case of viral uveitis or retinitis but less sensitive in diagnosing parasitic infecion. Vitreous biopsy Chorioretinal biopsy

Complications of uveitis

Posterior synechiae - 30%

Cataract -20%

Glaucoma due to PAS - 15%

Iris atrophy .Band keratopathy - 10%

Diseases of the LENS

Eyeball

The Lens is a unique structure

Transparent: no blood, no nerve Higher protein content It continues to grow throughout life. New fiber from just beneath the capsule, while the older fibers are compressed towards the centre of the lens

Ageing changes in the Lens

Increase in hardness presbyopia Increase in density more dense (nuclear sclerosis), the power of the lens increases lens induced myopia. Increase in size shallowing of the anterior chamber Increase in opacity: caused by biochemical damage of the delicate protein structure of the lens cells.

LENS DISORDERS

Anterior axial bulge Associated with Alport syndrome

Small lens
Microphakia Microspherophakia

Small diameter Systemic association - Lowe syndrome

Small diameter and spherical


May be familial (dominant) Systemic association - Weill-Marchesani syndrome

Cataract =Opacification of the Lens

General causes :age, diabetes, chronic renal failure, hypoparathyroidism, Downs syndrome, myotonic dystrophy, steroids, episodes of severe dehydration in early life (osmotic shock, severe dehydrationdamage the lens structure). Local causes: trauma, uveitis, glaucoma,myopia, radiation

Cataract backlog in Indonesia

Prevalence of cataract in Indonesia : 1.02% Incidence of cataract in Indonesia: 0.1% Population in Indonesia: 240.000.000 Ophthalmologist surgical rate of cataract in Indonesia =200, should be 500 to avoid backlog Total ophthalmologist in Indonesia : 1500

Why cataract is so much more common in hot climates

Episodes of severe dehydration in early life (osmotic shock mechanism) Solar radiation:ultraviolet is absorbed by the

lens causing damage to the tissue enzymes and protein molecules. Diet. : The poor people have a higher prevalence of cataract than rich people. Heat: glass-blower

Protective factors

Aspirin low dose (100 mg) Vitamin C Bendazac lysine

Symptoms of cataract

Dazzling , when opacity in the centre. Multiple images (ghosting, or polyopia) caused by poor refraction. Haloes, caused by opacity in the lens split Refractive changes, progressive myopia from nuclear sclerosis .

Signs of cataract

Cortical lens opacities: the most common type of opacities. Nuclear sclerosis: lens hardens at first yellow, then brown, and finally black. Posterior subcapsular lens opacities: less common, often develop in quite young people.

- central, anterior capsular granules

Other drugs

Long-acting miotics Amiodarone Busulphan

Secondary (complicated) cataract


Posterior subcapsular Glaukomflecken

Chronic anterior uveitis High myopia Hereditary fundus dystrophies

Follows acute angle-closure glaucoma Central, anterior subcapsular opacities

The treatment of cataract is Surgery

Intracapsular extraction : not popular now, impossible to intra ocular implantation. Extracapsular : the posterior capsule and suspensory ligament are left intact, IOL can be implanted. Small Incision Cataract Surgery: the most popular in India. Phacoemulsification : the most popular in the World

Complications of cataract

Acute angle-closure glaucoma: a lens which is swollen makes anterior chamber more shallow. Phacolytic uveitis and glaucoma. Fluid lens protein leaks out through the capsule into anterior chamberacute uveitislens protein is ingested by macrophages and these block the anterior chamber angle phacolytic glaucoma
