Abstract

The aim of our study was to assess the demographic, anatomic and diagnostic features, systemic associations and ocular complications of our patients diagnosed to have pediatric uveitis. Medical records of 10 cases under the age of 16 who were followed between 2006 and 2008 were retrospectively reviewed. Of all the cases, 3 were female (%30) and 7 were male (%70). One eye in 3 cases (30%) and two eyes in 7 cases (70%) were involved (17 eyes). Of all the cases, anterior uveitis, intermediate uveitis and panuveitis were diagnosed in 4 (40%), 1 (10%) and 5 (50%) cases, respectively. Behçet’s disease was diagnosed in 3 cases with panuveitis (6 eyes), juvenile rheumatoid arthritis was diagnosed in 1 case with unilateral anterior uveitis, and pars planitis was diagnosed in 1 case with unilateral intermediate uveitis on the basis of diagnostic tests. At least one of the oral steroid and immunosuppressive treatments was started in patients with panuveitis, and it was detected that macular edema developed as a complication at least once in the follow-up of these cases. Uveitis affects mostly males in childhood and a considerable amount of uveitis presents as panuveitis in developing countries. Behçet’s disease plays an important role in the etiology of patients with panuveitis. Immunosupressive therapy is frequently required especially in patients with panuveitis, and these patients should also be followed closely regarding ocular complications.

Özet

Çalışmamızda pediyatrik üveit tanısı almış olguların demografik, anatomik ve tanısal bilgilerinin, sistemik birlikteliklerinin ve oküler komplikasyonlarının incelenmesi amaçlanmıştır. GATF Göz Hastalıkları Anabilim Dalında 2006 ile 2008 yılları arasında takip altında olan 16 yaşın altındaki 10 olgunun dosyaları retrospektif olarak incelendi. Olguların 3’ü kız (%30), 7’si erkekti (%70). Üç olguda tek taraflı (%30), 7 olguda (%70) çift taraflı göz tutulmuştu (17 göz). Olguların 4’ünde ön üveit (%40), birisinde intermediate üveit (%10) ve 5’inde panüveit (%50) tanısı konuldu. Tanısal testler sonrasında panüveitli 3 olguya Behçet hastalığı (6 göz), tek taraflı ön üveiti olan bir olguya juvenil romatoid artrit ve tek taraflı intermediate üveiti olan bir olguya pars planit tanısı konuldu. Panüveiti olan olgulara oral steroid ve immünsüpresif tedavilerden en az birisi başlandı ve bu olguların takibinde komplikasyon olarak en az bir kez maküla ödemi geliştiği tespit edildi. Gelişmekte olan ülkelerde üveitler çocukluk çağında çoğunlukla erkek çocukları etkilemekte ve üveitlerin önemli bir kısmı panüveit olarak karşımıza çıkmaktadır. Panüveiti olanların etiyolojisinde Behçet hastalığının önemli yeri vardır. Özellikle panüveiti olanlarda immünsüpresif tedavi sıklıkla gerekmektedir, ayrıca bu hastalar oküler komplikasyonlar açısından yakından takip edilmelidir.
