  • Childhood chronic non-infectious uveitis (cNIU) is a complex condition that can mimic other diseases, like demyelinating disorders, and this study focuses on the brain MRI findings in affected children.
  • A total of 123 children with cNIU were analyzed, revealing that 26.8% exhibited white matter abnormalities (WMA), particularly among those with non-anterior uveitis and more frequently in males.
  • The study suggests that while brain MRIs might be beneficial for monitoring cNIU, the clinical implications of the observed WMAs remain unclear, highlighting the need for interdisciplinary assessment and further long-term studies.

Intravitreal steroid implants in the management of noninfectious intermediate and posterior uveitis.

Indian J Ophthalmol

September 2024

Department of Uveitis and Ocular Pathology, Sankara Nethralaya, Nungambakkam, Chennai, Tamil Nadu, India.

The management of intermediate and posterior uveitis poses a significant challenge of achieving adequate drug concentrations in the posterior segment over the chronic nature of the disease. Systemic agents seldom reach effective drug levels, and even with low maintenance or tapering doses, it is hard to avoid systemic toxicity. The use of intravitreal and periocular injections is often unable to prevent recurrences due to their short half-life.
