Zusammenfassung

Das Makulaödem ist die häufigste Ursache einer irreversiblen Visusminderung bei Patienten mit Uveitis. Pathogenetisch führen proinflammatorische Zytokine zu einem Zusammenbruch der Blut-Retina-Schranke. Zur Diagnostik des entzündlichen Makulaödems wird heutzutage überwiegend die optische Kohärenztomografie eingesetzt, welche die Fluoreszenzangiografie jedoch nicht immer zu ersetzen vermag. Die Therapie erfolgt überwiegend mittels intravitreal applizierter Kortikosteroide sowie systemischer immunmodulierender Substanzen und sollte so früh wie möglich einsetzen, um einer Chronifizierung des Makulaödems vorzubeugen.

Abstract

Macular oedema is the most common cause of irreversible visual loss in patients with uveitis. The pathogenesis is caused by pro-inflammatory cytokines that lead to the breakdown of the blood-retina barrier. For the diagnosis of inflammatory macular oedema, optical coherence tomography is now mainly used, but cannot always replace fluorescein angiography. The therapy is mainly performed with intravitreally applied corticosteroids as well as systemic immunomodulators and should start as early as possible to prevent chronification of macular oedema.
