Uveitis intermedia im Kindesalter

Zusammenfassung

Die Uveitis intermedia betrifft 10 - 20 % aller Kinder, die an einer Uveitis erkranken. Im Vergleich zur anterioren Uveitis ist eine Zuordnung der zugrunde liegenden Systemerkrankung komplexer. Neben der häufigen idiopathischen Pars planitis kann die Uveitis intermedia postinfektiöser oder autoimmunogener Ursache sein. Gerade bei seltenen zugrunde liegenden systemischen Begleiterkrankungen ist es notwendig, dass an eine Assoziation gedacht wird und eine gezielte Differenzialdiagnostik eingeleitet wird. Der Artikel informiert über mögliche Ursachen einer Uveitis intermedia im Kindesalter und vergleicht die Inzidenz dieser assoziierten Erkrankungen mit dem Vorkommen im Erwachsenenalter.

Abstract

Round 10 - 12 % of all children who present with signs of uveitis suffer from intermediate uveitis. Compared to uveitis anterior in children, the association of intermediate uveitis to a systemic disease is much more complicated. Most cases of uveitis intermedia are idiopathic and show the signs of a pars planitis. Post-infectious and immunological causes are difficult to detect. In cases of uveitis in children, it is necessary to know the specific symptoms of possible underlying systemic diseases. On this basis, an adequate and specific diagnosis will most probably be successful. This paper presents the different causes of uveitis intermedia in childhood and compares the incidence of the disease in comparison with adults as far as this is mentioned in the literature..
