“…Gerade deshalb ist aber das Wissen über mçgliche Ursachen der Erkrankung und über assoziierte Systemerkrankungen wichtig. Eine epidemiologische Studie, die 219 Kinder (51,1 % Mädchen, 48,9 % Jungen) einbezog, wurde von Kadayifcilar 2003 vorgelegt [22]. Das Durchschnittsalter bei der Erstdiagnose der Uveitis (alle Formen) betrug 7,4 € 4,22 Jahre.…”

“…Auch bei der Uveitis intermedia kçnnen Zellen in der Vorderkammer zu finden sein, genauso wie andererseits das Vorhandensein eines Makulaçdems und eines Papillençdems bei der Uveitis anterior zu beobachten ist. Hinzu kommt, dass die Uveitis intermedia im Kindesalter im Vergleich zum Erwachsenenalter eher selten ist [22]. Im Gegensatz zur akuten Verlaufsform z.…”

“…Bedingt durch die vielseitige Symptomatik, aber meist auch verzçgerte Diagnosestellung, ist wenig bekannt darüber, wie häufig diese Erkrankung bereits im Kindesalter manifest wird. Während die Erkrankung in Europa und Nordamerika eher selten vorkommt (0 -0,7 %) [3,13,31,32], wird in der Türkei die Häufigkeit hçher angegeben (10,9 %) [22]. Eine israelische Studie verglich die Charakteristika der MB von Kindern mit denen von Erwachsenen.…”

“…Nach fünf Jahren war der Vergleich ähnlich, wenn auch nicht signifikant (6/10 versus 6/7,5, p = 0,15). Eine Makulopathie ist signifikant hçher bei Kindern mit Pars planitis [22], gefolgt von Uveitis anterior bei der JRA und beim MB.…”

Round 10-12% of all children who present with signs of uveitis suffer from intermediate uveitis. Compared to uveitis anterior in children, the association of intermediate uveitis to a systemic disease is much more complicated. Most cases of uveitis intermedia are idiopathic and show the signs of a pars planitis. Post-infectious and immunological causes are difficult to detect. In cases of uveitis in children, it is necessary to know the specific symptoms of possible underlying systemic diseases. On this basis, an adequate and specific diagnosis will most probably be successful. This paper presents the different causes of uveitis intermedia in childhood and compares the incidence of the disease in comparison with adults as far as this is mentioned in the literature.

“…In certain countries, for example, in Italy, these patients may account for up to 22.7 % of uveitis cases in general or up to 45 % of cases when considering only patients with anterior uveitis [8]. Only a small amount of clinical data about FUS in children have been published up to now [9,10].…”

PurposeThis study aimed to investigate the frequency and characteristics of childhood-onset uveitis and evaluate the rate and specific causes of visual loss in this population.MethodsThe data of 121 patients (179 eyes) with uveitis starting before ≤16 years and followed up for at least 6 months were retrospectively evaluated. Age at onset, sex, laterality, associated systemic disease, laboratory data, therapeutic strategies, surgeries, final visual acuity, and causes leading to visual acuity ≤20/200 were analyzed.ResultsChildhood-onset uveitis made up 9.6% of our uveitis patients. The mean age at onset was 11.7 years (1–16) and the mean follow-up period was 38.5 months (6–148). Forty-three patients (35.5%) were female and 78 were male (64.5%). The disease was bilateral in 58 (47.9%) and unilateral in 63 (52.1%) patients. Uveitis was mostly (59.5%) seen between 12 and 16 years of age. Pars planitis, observed in 29 (24%) patients, was the leading cause of childhood-onset uveitis. Uveitis was idiopathic in 20 (16.5%) of patients. The most frequently associated diseases were Behcet’s disease (BD) in 20 (16.5%), toxoplasmosis in 16 (13.2%), and juvenile idiopathic arthritis (JIA) in 8 (6.6%) patients. Anterior uveitis was observed in 38 (31.4%), intermediate uveitis in 31 (25.6%), posterior uveitis in 30 (24.8%), and panuveitis in 22 (18.2%) patients. The final visual acuity was ≤20/200 in 32/179 eyes (17.9%) of 27/121 patients (22.3%). The most often ocular complication leading to visual acuity ≤20/200 was optic atrophy and had been observed in 14 of 32 eyes (43.7%). Macular scar observed in five eyes (15.6%) was the second most often complication. Etiological distribution of 27 patients with visual acuity ≤20/200 was as follows: 12 had BD (44.4%), 5 had idiopathic uveitis (18.5%), 4 had pars planitis (14.8%), 3 had toxoplasmosis (11.1%), 2 had JIA (7.4%), and 1 had toxocara (3.7%).ConclusionsAlthough rare, childhood-onset uveitis has a blinding potential and causes visual loss in up to 22.3% of the patients. In endemic areas like Turkey, BD may be the most common uveitis-associated systemic disease and the leading cause of visual loss in childhood uveitis as adulthood.
