CLASSIFICATION ACCORDING TO PATHOLOGY
Feature Granulomatous Non- Granulomatous
Onset Insidious/ chronic Acute
Pain Mild Marked
Photophobia Slight Marked
Ciliary congestion Minimal Marked
KP Mutton fat Fine
Aqueous flare Mild Intense flare
Iris Nodules Usually present Absent
Posterior Synechiae Thick and broad Thin
Fundus Nodular lesions Diffused
Area Anterior uvea and
choroid equally involved
Mainly limited to anterior
uvea
• Suppurative uveitis
• Non- suppuravtive
uveitis
CLINICAL FEATURES
SYMTOMS
• Unilateral Sudden eye pain
• Redness
• Watering
• Blurring of Vn
• Photophobia
• Floaters
SIGNS
• Visual Acuity
Maybe be normal or decreased
SIGNS
CORNEA
Keratic Precipitates (KP)
Fine KP: herpetic, CMV retinitis..
Mutton fat KP: sarcoidosis, TB, syphilis..
Fine KP:“Stellate” – typically covers the entire
endothelium
Mutton fat : mostly on inferior cornea
Mutton fat Fine
d/t toxins nutrition of
corneal endothelium is
affected
Endothelium becomes
sticky and oedematous
Cells desquamated at
places inflammatory
cells stick to
endothelium as cellular
deposits
Ciliary flush
Due to involvement of deeper blood
vessels circumcorneal conjunctival
hyperemia
CONJUNCTIVA
Corneal dusting
• Endothelial
dusting by
numerous
individual cells
precedes the
formation of true
KP aggregates.
Ciliary flush
IRIS
Posterior synechiae
Iris atrophy
Busaccas nodules
Iris nodules
Spots of exudate/ pigment
derived from the posterior layer
of the iris left permanently on
the anterior capsule of the lens
Adhesions of iris to lens
capsule
Later adhesion leads to fibrous
bands between iris and lens
capsule
In the early stage, mydriatics can free up
the adhesion but not in the late.
ANTERIOR CHAMBER
Cells
• Indicator of active inflammation
Flare
• When blood aqueous barrier breaks down
 leakage of protein in the aqueous 
haziness
GRADING ACCORDING TO SUN
CLASSIFICATION
IOP
 Low
• Decrease in CB production of aqueous when inflamed or increase in uveoscleral
outflow
 High
• Trabiculitis
• Debris and inflammatory cells in TM
• Pupillary block
• Secondary angle closure
Hypopyon
Peripheral anterior
synechiae
When the aqueous
drainage gets hampered
collection of aqueous
behind the iris
iris bulges out
contact with cornea at
periphery
PAS formed
VITREOUS
Vitritis- inflammatory cells and opacities
Snowbank- white exudates in the ora serata
and pars plana.
Snowballs- cellular aggregates floating in
the vitreous
Snowbanks are typically seen in inferior vitreous
CHOROID
Choroiditis
Active lesion- yellow nodule
Focal choroiditis- toxocariasis, TB, cat
scratch disease
Multifocal choroiditis- cat scratch disease
Choroidal folds
RETINA
Retinitis
Active lesion- whitish retinal opacities with
indistinct borders due to surrounding
edema.
Focal retinitis- toxoplasmosis
Multifocal retinitis- syphilis, HSV,CMV
Vasculitis- arteries(arteritis), veins
(phlebitis) or both are affected
COMPLICATIONS
• CME
• Choroidal neovascularization
• Glaucoma
• Cataract
INVESTIGATION
SYSTEMIC
• CBC
• ESR
• CRP
• Antitoxoplasma antibody-Toxoplasmosis
• Syphilis serology test
o Tpha
o VDRL
• ACE – sarcoidosis, TB, leprosy
• ANA- RA
• Chest X-ray- sarcoidosis, TB
• QuantiFERON TB Gold- TB
• HIV serology
OCULAR
Imaging techniques Indication Application in uveitis
OCT Macular and optic disc
pathology
Macular edema, retinitis,
choroiditis, vitreoretinal
disorders
OCT-A Retinal or choroidal vascular
pathology
Retinitis, choroiditis, retinal and
choroidal neovascularizations

Choroiditis
FAF Retinal vascular pathology Retinal vasculitis, macular
edema, retinal and choroidal
neovascularizations
ICGA Choroidal vascular pathology Choroiditis, choroidal
neovascularizations
TREATMENT
MEDICAL THERAPY
• Specific (etiology dependent)
o ATT- TB
o Parenteral Penincilin- syphilis
o Sulfa and Pyrimethamine- toxoplasmosis
o Ganciclovir- CMV retinitis
• Non- specific
o Cycloplegics( Mydriatics)
o Corticosteroids
o Immunosuppressives
o NSAIDs
Cycloplegics
o To relieve pain and ciliary spasm
o To prevent posterior synechiae and break the ones already formed
Corticosteroids
Depending on the site of inflammation and severity
o Topical – prednisolone, fluorometholone
o Periocular – methylprednisolone, betamethasone
o Systemic – prednisone, methylprednisolone
Immunosuppressives
In corticosteroid resistant and intolerant cases
o Antimetabolites – methotrexate, azathioprine
o Alkylating agents – cyclophosphamide, chlorambucil
o T- cell inhibitors – cyclosporin, tacrolimus
Anti- VEGF – ranibizumab
NSAID – Bromfenac, nepafenac
SUMMARY
