[The clinical investigation of peripheral retinal changes of anterior uveitis]
Abstract
Objective: To observe the peripheral retinal changes of anterior uveitis patients using ultra-wide field fluorescein angiography.
Methods: Retrospective case series study. Thirty-three eyes of 20 patients diagnosed as anterior uveitis from September to November 2013 in the ophthalmic clinic of Peking University First Hospital was included. All the patients underwent routine ocular examination, followed by ultra-wide field Fluorescein.
Results: There were 13 male patients and 7 female patients, aged 23-66, an average of 46 years old. The anterior uveitis recurrent in both eyes in 13 patients and only one eye in 7 patients. Uveitis duration ranging from months to 30 years. Twenty eyes were at the active stage of the anterior uveitis while 13 eyes in the quiescent stage. Peripheral retinal vessels leakage was detected in 57.6% (19/33) of the eyes, among which in eyes with active disease the rate of peripheral retinal vessels leakage was 75% (15/20), and in eyes with quiescent disease the rate was 30.8% (4/13). Optic disk hyperfluorescence was found in 6 of 20 eyes with active disease. Cystoid macular edema was found in 4 eyes. In addition, peripheral retinal hyperfluorescence dot and zone were detected in 2 eyes.
Conclusions: Peripheral retinal vessels were detected to have inflammative leakage in patients of anterior uveitis by ultra-wide field fluorescein agiography. Peripheral retinal inflammation may still exist even in the quiescent stage of the anterior uveitis.
