Purpose: To clarify the clinical features of uveitis in elderly patients in central Tokyo.

Methods: We retrospectively identified 1424 patients with uveitis who visited the Uveitis Clinic of the University of Tokyo Hospital between January 2013 and December 2018. The patients were categorized into two groups based on their ages at the time of disease onset: patients aged 65 years or older were included in Group A, whereas those younger than 65 years were included in Group B.

Clinical Features and Visual Outcome of Uveitis in Japanese Patients Younger than 18 Years.

: To investigate the clinical features and visual outcome of young Japanese patients with uveitis.: Patients younger than 18 years who presented with uveitis at the University of Tokyo Hospital between 2000 and 2018 were retrospectively reviewed.: The study comprised 98 patients whose mean age was 12.

Retinal vascular inflammatory and occlusive changes in infectious and non-infectious uveitis.

Purpose: Retinal vasculitis and occlusive changes are important signs of posterior uveitis and are possible diagnostic markers for uveitis. However, the frequency of arteritis and phlebitis in various uveitis entities, including infectious uveitis (IU) and non-infectious uveitis (NIU), have not been systematically investigated.

Study Design: Retrospective.

Comparison of visual field defect progression in secondary Glaucoma due to anterior uveitis caused by three types of herpes viruses.

Purpose: To clarify the prevalence of secondary glaucoma (SG) and its speed of progression in patients with herpes simplex virus (HSV)-anterior uveitis (AU), varicella zoster virus (VZV)-AU, and cytomegalovirus (CMV)-AU.

Methods: In total, 170 patients with herpetic AU were enrolled in this retrospective observational case series. Patients with visual field (VF) defects and glaucomatous disc abnormalities were diagnosed with SG.

The Relationship between Fluorescein Angiography Leakage after Infliximab Therapy and Relapse of Ocular Inflammatory Attacks in Ocular Behçet's Disease Patients.

: To clarify the relationship between fluorescein angiography (FA) leakage after infliximab therapy and ocular attack relapse in patients with ocular Behçet's disease (BD). : Patients with ocular BD were divided into two groups based on the presence (Group 1) or absence (Group 2) of ocular attacks after IFX therapy. FA leakage was evaluated by FA score in each of the optic discs, macula, large retinal vessels, and capillary vessels.

Association between subfoveal choroidal thickness and leakage site on fluorescein angiography in Behçet's uveitis.

This study aimed to clarify the association between the retinal leakage site on fluorescein angiography (FA) and subfoveal choroidal thickness (SCT) measured using enhanced depth imaging optical coherence tomography (EDI-OCT). Twenty-two patients with Behçet's uveitis were retrospectively selected in this study. They underwent EDI-OCT and FA in both the active and convalescent phases.

Purpose: To investigate the clinical features of patients with ocular inflammation associated with relapsing polychondritis in Japan.

Methods: Ocular findings, systemic symptoms, and therapies were analysed retrospectively.

Results: Nine of 11 patients had scleritis (diffuse scleritis: six patients, posterior scleritis: two patients, episcleritis: one patient) and two patients had anterior uveitis.

Clinical characteristics and ocular complications of patients with scleritis in Japanese.

Purpose: To investigate the clinical characteristics of Japanese patients with scleritis STUDY DESIGN: Retrospective study METHODS: The clinical records of 123 patients with scleritis, who presented to the University of Tokyo Hospital between January, 2004 and December, 2015, were retrospectively reviewed.

Results: The cohort comprised 55 men and 68 women (mean age, 57.8±16.

Monoclonal immunoglobulin heavy chain gene rearrangement in Fuchs' uveitis.

Background: Fuchs' uveitis (FU) is occasionarlly complicated with heavy vitreous opacity. We have performed vitrectomy procedures to remove vitreous opacity in affected patients as part of differential diagnosis for primary vitreoretinal lymphoma (PVRL).

Case Presentation: We retrospectively reviewed the clinical records of five patients who first visited the Uveitis Clinic of the University of Tokyo Hospital between 2009 and 2013, were diagnosed with FU and underwent a vitrectomy for removal of dense vitreous opacity.

Initial Trabeculectomy With Mitomycin-C for Secondary Glaucoma-associated With Uveitis in Behçet Disease Patients.

Purpose: To examine clinical outcomes following an initial trabeculectomy with mitomycin-C for secondary glaucoma associated with uveitis in Behçet disease (BD) patients.

Design: Retrospective interventional case series.

Patients And Methods: Twenty-two eyes in 18 patients with uveitic glaucoma (UG) associated with Behçet disease who underwent an initial trabeculectomy with mitomycin-C between January 1996 and August 2014 were retrospectively reviewed.

Frequency of Uveitis in the Central Tokyo Area (2010-2012).

Purpose: To investigate the frequency of conditions of newly arrived patients with uveitis from 2010 to 2012 and compare this frequency with that since 2004.

Methods: We retrospectively analyzed clinical records of patients who visited the outpatient clinic from January 2010 to December 2012, and compared them with those from 2004-2009.

Results: From 2010 to 2012, 695 new patients with uveitis visited Tokyo University Hospital, with a definite diagnosis made in 431 (62.

Clinical features of psoriatic uveitis in Japanese patients.

Purpose: To investigate the clinical features of psoriatic uveitis in Japanese patients.

Methods: Clinical features of 13 consecutive patients with psoriatic uveitis treated at our facility were retrospectively examined using medical records. In this study, we collected data about psoriasis type, uveitis laterality, onset type, HLA types, visual acuity, ocular inflammation localization, anterior segment findings, funduscopy findings, complications, recurrence, and medical treatments for uveitis and skin diseases.
