Highlights
Intermediate uveitis (IU) is a type of uveitis mainly localised to the vitreous and the ciliary body that lacks chorioretinal inflammation.[1]
Consecutive patients presenting with IU with or without retinal vasculitis at the Department of Ophthalmology of Inselspital, University of Bern, between October 2016 and October 2017 were enrolled in this study
The diagnosis of IU fulfilled the criteria of the Standardization in Uveitis Nomenclature (SUN)[12] and the disease activity was based on the National Eye Institute (NEI) system.[13]
Summary
Intermediate uveitis (IU) is a type of uveitis mainly localised to the vitreous and the ciliary body that lacks chorioretinal inflammation.[1] Concomitant retinal vasculitis is often found in this disease, involving commonly the peripheral retinal veins. Fluorescein angiography (FA) is sensitive in the diagnosis of retinal vasculitis and an important diagnostic tool to detect macular oedema, optic disc oedema and other complications.[2] FA is invasive and has a substantially limited depth resolution; the middle and deeper capillary plexus are difficult to visualise.[3] leakage of dye can limit our ability to evaluate adjacent capillary perfusion.[4] Indocyanine green angiography (ICG) allows the assessment of uveitis with choroidal involvement. The exact localisation of the inflammation within the choroid using ICG may be challenging.[5]
