| Summary: |
Pars planitis is an
idiopathic chronic intermediate uveitis characterized by
inflammatory cellular infiltration over the pars plana
and into the base of vitreous body and associated with
only mild anterior segment inflammation. The
Standardization of Uveitis Nomenclature working group
has recommended that the term “pars planitis” should be
reserved for that subset of intermediate uveitis with
snowbank or snowball formation in the absence of an
associated infection or systemic disease.
Pars planitis most commonly affects young individuals,
between 5 and 40 years of age. The course of this
condition can be complicated by cystoid macular edema,
cataract, glaucoma, epiretinal membrane formation,
retinal detachment, vitreous hemorrhage and retinal
neovascularization. In the treatment of pars planitis
topical and periocular steroid injections are the first
choice. In severe cases, systemic steroids or
immunosuppressive agents may be used, as well as
cyclocryotherapy and vitrectomy. |
