“…Specific features of pediatric uveitis on UBM were damage to ciliary processes (most commonly in the inferior quadrant), and granulomas (most commonly in the temporal quadrant). Ciliary atrophy in two studies was found to be predictive of response to treatment [33,34]. Studies reported that UBM improved detection of complications, diagnosis, and management in pediatric uveitis.…”

Ultrasound biomicroscopy (UBM) is the only available option for noninvasive, high-resolution imaging of the intricate iridociliary complex, and for anterior segment imaging with corneal haze or opacity. While these unique features render UBM essential for specific types of trauma, congenital anomalies, and anterior segment tumors, UBM imaging has found clinical utility in a broad spectrum of diseases for structural assessments not limited to the anterior intraocular anatomy, but also for eyelid and orbit anatomy. This imaging tool has a very specific niche in the pediatric population where anterior segment disease can be accompanied by corneal opacity or clouding, and anomalies posterior to the iris may be present. Pediatric patients present additional diagnostic challenges. They are often unable to offer detailed histories or fully cooperate with examination, thus amplifying the need for high-resolution imaging. This purpose of this systematic review is to identify and synthesize the body of literature involving use of UBM to describe, evaluate, diagnose, or optimize treatment of pediatric ocular disease. The collated peer-reviewed research details the utility of this imaging modality, clarifies the structures and diseases most relevant for this tool, and describes quantitative and qualitative features of UBM imaging among pediatric subjects. This summary will include information about the specific applications available to enhance clinical care for pediatric eye disease.

“…It could be a useful tool in managing anterior uveitis. Da Costa et al [ 12 ] studied the correlation between the length of ciliary processes, measured through ultrasound biomicroscopy, and the severity, duration, and location of uveitis. As a result, they observed that ultrasound biomicroscopy is useful in evaluating anatomical changes of ciliary processes in uveitis and ocular hypotony, providing a basis for recommending baseline screening of uveitis patients.…”

Objective (Aim): To observe the ocular structural changes in active and inactive uveitis patients. Methods: This retrospective study involved 30 patients (32 eyes) with anterior and intermediate uveitis cases and 54 eyes of 54 cases in a control group, who were admitted to the Ophthalmology Department at Trakya University. In the study group, 14 patients were females, 16 patients were males and in the control group 26 volunteers were females, and 28 volunteers were male of the 54 volunteers. Anterior chamber depth, axial length, intraocular pressure, lens thickness, central corneal thickness, steep and flat values in keratometry, corrected visual acuity in both eyes, anterior chamber cells, and vitreous cells were measured and compared between three groups (two uveitis groups - active and inactive - and control group). Results: In the comparison of the median values of axial length, central corneal thickness, and steep and flat values of keratometry, the values of the patients with active uveitis were higher than the ones in the control group in each parameter, but no significant difference was observed. The anterior chamber depth parameter value was higher, the lens thickness value was lower in patients with active uveitis than the values in the control group and the differences were statistically significant (p<0,05). No significant structural differences in the values of the active and inactive group patients (p>0,05) were observed. Conclusions: Only lens thickness and anterior chamber depth parameters were statistically significant in patients with active uveitis, compared with the inactive uveitis group. Anterior chamber depth measurement values were higher and lens thickness measurement values were lower in patients with active uveitis when compared with the control group.

Intraocular Pressure in Patients With Uveitis Treated With Fluocinolone Acetonide Implants

et al. 2007

To report the incidence and management of elevated intraocular pressure (IOP) in patients with uveitis treated with the fluocinolone acetonide (FA) intravitreal implant. Design: Pooled data from 3 multicenter, doublemasked, randomized, controlled, phase 2b/3 clinical trials evaluating the safety and efficacy of the 0.59-mg or 2.1-mg FA intravitreal implant or standard therapy were analyzed. Results: During the 3-year follow-up, 71.0% of implanted eyes had an IOP increase of 10 mm Hg or more than baseline and 55.1%, 24.7%, and 6.2% of eyes reached an IOP of 30 mm Hg or more, 40 mm Hg or more, and 50 mm Hg or more, respectively. Topical IOP-lowering medication was administered in 74.8% of implanted eyes, and IOP-lowering surgeries, most of which were trabeculectomies (76.2%), were performed on 36.6% of implanted eyes. Intraocular pressure-loweringsurgerieswereconsideredasuccess(postoperative IOP of 6-21 mm Hg with or without additional IOP-lowering medication) in 85.1% of eyes at 1 year. The rate of hypotony (IOPՅ5 mm Hg) following IOP-lowering surgery (42.5%) was not different from that of implanted eyes not subjected to surgery (35.4%) (P=.09). Conclusion: Elevated IOP is a significant complication with the FA intravitreal implant but may be controlled with medication and surgery.
