The authors describe how they identified the relevant publications included in this review and then proceed to outline the possible causes of IU by classifying them into the following categories: Idiopathic, infectious, systemic, genetic/hereditary, drug-induced and masquerades.

Article Synopsis
- Paediatric uveitis, while rare, can have diverse causes and impact different eye segments; this study aims to analyze demographic data from a Swiss cohort to improve diagnosis and treatment.
- A retrospective study spanning from January 2012 to June 2022 was conducted on patients under 18, revealing that more than half of the 93 analyzed patients were female, with a mean age of 12 years and a majority diagnosed with non-infectious uveitis.
- The findings highlighted a strong association between bilateral uveitis and non-infectious causes, with significant differences in visual acuity based on the type of uveitis, indicating the importance of understanding local demographics for effective management.
