Management of Uveitis Patients on Anti-TNF Agents Who Develop Demyelinating Disease - A Case Series.
J Ophthalmic Inflamm Infect
July 2024
Cole Eye Institute, Cleveland Clinic, 2022 E 105th St I Building, Cleveland, OH, 44106, USA.
Background/aims: Anti-tumor necrosis factor (Anti-TNF) agents have proven beneficial for the treatment of chronic non-infectious uveitis, yet rare neurological complications and demyelinating disease can occur with their use. Management of uveitis and neurological disease after developing these rare complications is not well understood. We sought to identify these specific cases and their outcomes through a retrospective observational case series.

Article Synopsis
- Acute necrotizing encephalopathy of childhood (ANEC) is a serious neurological condition marked by quick-onset brain issues, often linked to viral infections, and has a high mortality rate with potential long-term effects for survivors.
- Differentiating ANEC from acute disseminated encephalomyelitis (ADEM) is crucial, as most ADEM patients typically recover, whereas ANEC tends to be more severe.
- A case study of an eight-year-old boy illustrates ANEC's symptoms, including fever and seizures, with MRI showing distinct bilateral thalamic lesions indicative of the condition.*

Spontaneous coronary artery dissection (SCAD) is defined as a non-iatrogenic, non-traumatic separation of the coronary artery wall, which has gained considerable recognition as an important cause of acute coronary syndrome. Despite the emerging evidence, it is still frequently missed and requires a high index of suspicion, as failure to accurately identify SCAD promptly could prove fatal. SCAD is most prevalent among middle-aged women, although it can also be found in men and postmenopausal women.

Background: Giant cell arteritis (GCA) and Takayasu arteritis (TAK), as the main representatives of large vessel vasculitis, are rheumatological autoimmune disorders associated with inflammatory vessel wall changes in the arterial system that can lead to many types of organ damage.
Material And Methods: In this review the current scientific evidence on the diagnostics and treatment of large vessel vasculitis is evaluated and discussed.
Results: In addition to the medical history and clinical presentation, imaging techniques nowadays represent the core of large vessel vasculitis diagnostics and have largely replaced the histological confirmation of GCA.
