Uvea of the eye is a term that includes the iris, choroid, and ciliary body. Inflammation of all layers of the uvea is called panuveitis. Panuveitis can even spread to involve the optic nerve, retina, vitreous humor, or lens. This process can lead to redness and pain in the eye, blurring of vision, and even blindness. The condition is usually treated with topical steroids, but it becomes difficult in steroid-responders. Here, we present the case of a rare non-infective unilateral case of panuveitis that was successfully treated in an unorthodox manner.
眼睛的葡萄膜是一个术语,包括虹膜、脉络膜和睫状体。葡萄膜各层的炎症称为全葡萄膜炎。全葡萄膜炎甚至可蔓延至视神经、视网膜、玻璃体或晶状体。这个过程会导致眼睛发红、疼痛、视力模糊,甚至失明。这种病症通常用局部类固醇治疗,但对类固醇有反应的患者治疗起来会变得困难。在此,我们介绍一例罕见的非感染性单侧全葡萄膜炎病例,该病例以非传统方式成功治愈。
