Uveitis: Basics What is uveitis? In theory at least, it refers to inflammation of one or more components of the uvea
Uveitis: Basics What is uveitis? In theory at least, it refers to inflammation of one or more components of the uvea What three structures comprise the uvea?
Uveitis: Basics What is uveitis? In theory at least, it refers to inflammation of one or more components of the uvea What three structures comprise the uvea? The choroid, ciliary body and iris
5 Uveitis: Basics Uvea The eye can be thought to consist of three layers or tunics: A tough outer tunic consisting of the sclera and cornea; the inner retinal tunic; and, between the other two, the highly vascular tunic called the uvea
Uveitis: Basics What is uveitis? In theory at least, it refers to inflammation of one or more components of the uvea What three structures comprise the uvea? The choroid, ciliary body and iris Why did the first answer include the hedge ‘in theory at least’? Because in clinical parlance, some of the inflammatory conditions to which the term uveitis is applied involve non-uveal tissues (eg, the retina)

Uveitis: Basics What is uveitis? In theory at least, it refers to inflammation of one or more components of the uvea What three structures comprise the uvea? The choroid, ciliary body and iris In a nutshell, how should the process of evaluating and managing a case of uveitis proceed? 1) The uveitis is ‘named; ’ ie, key aspects of the case are identified (more on this shortly). 2) The named case is ‘meshed; ’ ie, the identified aspects of the case are compared to the aspects known to characterize common uveitides (ditto). 3) Based on the meshing, a differential diagnosis list is generated. 4) Specific lab/imaging studies are obtained to winnow the differential, and identify the etiology. 5)

Standardization of Uveitis Nomenclature, a working group appointed by the International Ocular Inflammation Society What was the task of the SUN Working Group? To standardize uveitis nomenclature The SUN classification system is based on three sets of criteria. What are they? The location of the uveitis --Anterior --Intermediate --Posterior --Panuveitis The onset, duration and course of the uveitis --Onset: Sudden vs insidious --Duration: Limited vs persistent --Course: Acute vs recurrent vs chronic The severity of the uveitis --AC cell grade --AC flare grade --Vitreous haze score In addition to location, onset/duration/course, and severity, what other aspects of presentation are important in classifying a case of uveitis? --Laterality (ie, whether is univs of bilateral) Broadly, itwhat sorts iris changes must be looked for? --The character of keratic precipitates (KP) if present --Atrophy --Iris changes --Synechiae In a pt with uveitis and heterochromia, which iris is more --Nodules likely to be the abnormal one--the lighter iris, or the darker? --Heterochromia The lighter
Uveitis: Classification 1) The uveitis is profiled 2) The profiled case is meshed 3) A differential diagnosis list is generated 4) Studies are obtained to identify the etiology 5) Treatment appropriate for the etiology is initiated In the context of uveitis, what does the acronym SUN stand for?
