Uveitis Associated with Juvenile Idiopathic Arthritis.

Juvenile idiopathic arthritis (JIA) is the most common cause of uveitis in children. While symptoms are usually mild, persistent eye inflammation could lead to severe complications and impaired vision. It is essential that JIA patients at risk are diagnosed with uveitis early, receive adequate treatment, and avoid developing complications, such as cataract, glaucoma, and amblyopia.

Factors Associated With Glaucoma Surgery in Pediatric Non-Infectious Uveitis.

Purpose: To identify factors associated with glaucoma surgery in pediatric uveitis.

Methods: Patients diagnosed with uveitis before their 18 birthday and with an observation period of at least one year were included in a retrospective case-control study.

Results: A total of 185 patients were included, 84 of whom had undergone glaucoma surgery.

Uveitic glaucoma in children: a systematic review on surgical outcomes.

Purpose: To compare the outcomes and complications of different surgical interventions for secondary glaucoma in pediatric uveitis.

Methods: Systematic review following the PRISMA standards. Main inclusion criteria were surgery for secondary glaucoma in pediatric uveitis at a mean age of 16 years or below, a mean follow-up period of at least 1 year after surgery, and at least 10 eyes per surgical intervention per study.

Palliative and end-of-life care for children with diffuse intrinsic pontine glioma: results from a London cohort study and international survey.

Background: More than 90% of patients with diffuse intrinsic pontine glioma (DIPG) will die within 2 years of diagnosis. Patients deteriorate rapidly during the disease course, which severely impairs their quality of life. To date, no specific research on this clinically important subject has been conducted.
