CONCLUSION: The study presents data supporting the idea that patients presenting with idiopathic pars planitis in childhood have a worse visual acuity both at initial diagnosis and at follow up than those presenting in adulthood. [ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]

• Blurred Vision

  The Humphrey ultrasound biomicroscope was used for examination of the right eye of a 17-year-old boy, referred to our clinic because of blurred vision. The lens showed a posterior subcapsular cataract precluding fundus visualization. [ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]

  Symptoms of pars planitis include blurred vision, floaters, flashes, redness of the eye and eye pain. [monmouthretina.com]

  This may lead to blurred vision; dark, floating spots in the vision; and progressive vision loss. As the condition advances, cataracts, retinal detachment, or macular edema (fluid within the retina) may develop. [xpertdox.com]

  The most common presenting symptoms are floaters and blurred vision. Diffuse vitreous cells, haze, snowballs and snowbanks are typical findings of pars planitis. Peripheral retinal vasculitis, optic disc edema and… CONTINUE READING [semanticscholar.org]

• Anterior Uveitis

  —Pars planitis is a form of anterior uveitis, the cause of which is not known. [jamanetwork.com]

  Evidence of anterior uveitis is minimal - a few cells may occasionally be evident in the anterior chamber. Anterior and posterior synechiae are rare. Posterior subcapsular cataracts are frequent. [gpnotebook.co.uk]

  While chronic anterior uveitis is the most commonly encountered ocular manifestation of rheumatic disease, little is known about the clinical presentation, management and long term outcome of more complex eye conditions such as pars planitis (PP), panuveitis [acrabstracts.org]

• Visual Impairment

  Conclusions: : Pars planitis in pediatric patients may cause significant visual impairment, and its presentation may vary considerably. [iovs.arvojournals.org]

  Although a subset of patients with pars planitis do not have macular edema or visual impairment and may be observed, the majority of patients need treatment. [entokey.com]

  Complications Decreased Visual Acuity Severe Visual Impairment : 35% Legally blind: 10% Iris scarring Impaired pupillary movement Secondary Glaucoma XIII. [fpnotebook.com]

• Progressive Loss of Vision

  This form is more difficult to treat, and is often associated with progressive loss of vision. Pan-uveitis - When inflammation affects all three areas of the uvea it is referred to as pan-uveitis. [bausch.com]

Systemic workup for conditions associated with intermediate uveitis including sarcoidosis evaluation was negative. [joii-journal.springeropen.com]

Although most pediatric IU cases are idiopathic, a systemic workup is recommended to evaluate for underlying disorders (see “Possible Etiologies”). [aao.org]

PURPOSE: To report the demographics and clinical characteristics, therapy logarithm, and prognosis of children with pars planitis. [ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]

A good prognosis can be expected for those who undergo appropriate treatment. The condition does not usually lead to permanent blindness Complications, such as glaucoma and cataract, can worsen the prognosis. [dovemed.com]

Clinical and histopathological findings suggest an autoimmune etiology, most likely as a reaction to endogenous antigen of unknown source, with T cells predominant in both vitreous and pars plana infiltrations. [ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]

Multiple sclerosis is a chronic inflammatory demyelinating disease of the central nervous system that is presumed to be an autoimmune etiology. [aaopt.org]

Although an autoimmune process with a genetic predisposition has been suggested, its etiology still remains unknown. The most common presenting symptoms are floaters and blurred vision. [semanticscholar.org]

Here, we report a case of peripapillary CNV in a patient with intermediate uveitis and explore the pathophysiology and outcome of this condition. [joii-journal.springeropen.com]

It is evident that genetics plays some role in the pathophysiology of intermediate uveitis, but the importance remains unclear. [wikidoc.org]

Pathophysiology The pathogenesis of pars planitis is not completely understood. Pars plana exudates are composed of a loose fibrovascular layer containing occasional fibrocyte-like cells and scattered mononuclear cells. [statpearls.com]

Prevention Treatment of an underlying disorder may help to prevent uveitis in persons with a body-wide (systemic) infection or disease. Diagnosis A complete medical history and eye examination should be performed. [checkorphan.org]

Anti-inflammatory medication in the form of eye drops, pills, or injections is usually recommended to alleviate pain, prevent further tissue damage and restore loss of vision. [monmouthretina.com]

In order to prevent these vision blinding complications patients need alternative therapies. What Causes Pars Planatis? The most common cause of Pars Planitis is idiopathic or autoimmune. [eyesurgeonsnyc.com]
