Choroidal Thickness in Eyes with Fuchs Uveitis Syndrome

Ocular Immunology and Inflammation

Abstract

This study measured the macular thickness, peripapillary retinal nerve fiber layer (RNFL) thickness, subfoveal choroidal thickness (SFCT), and ganglion cell complex (GCC) thickness in eyes with Fuchs uveitis syndrome (FUS). In total, 25 patients with unilateral FUS were enrolled. The diagnosis of FUS was based on the presence of several of the following clinical features: absence of acute symptoms and ciliary injection; small to medium-sized and stellate keratic precipitates (KP) diffusely scattered on the entire corneal endothelium; chronic low-grade anterior chamber inflammation; iris stromal atrophy with or without heterochromia; lack of posterior synechiae; iris nodules; and vitreous cells and debris. Spectral domain optical coherence tomography (SD-OCT; RTVue-100 OCT) was used to obtain the measurements. The SFCT, RNFL thickness, macular retinal thickness, and GCC thickness of the eyes with FUS were measured and compared with those of the uninvolved fellow eyes. A paired samples t-test was used for statistical analyses. A value of p<0.05 was considered to be statistically significant for all analyses. The mean age of the patients was 35.2 ± 4.8 years. Fifteen patients (60%) were male, and 10 (40%) were female. Small- to me...Continue Reading

Autoimmune Diseases

Autoimmune diseases occur as a result of an attack by the immune system on the body’s own tissues resulting in damage and dysfunction. There are different types of autoimmune diseases, in which there is a complex and unknown interaction between genetics and the environment. Discover the latest research on autoimmune diseases here.
