Purpose:To report the clinical features of 32 patients (33 eyes) who were
diagnosed as Fuchs heterochromic iridocyclitis (FHI). Method: 32 patients
diagnosed as FHI were included in our study. One patient was affected
bilaterally. The mean age of patients was 36.48 +/-10.98,and male-female ratio
was 20/12 .
Results: The most common symptom was the decrease in visual acuity
(84.3%). All patients had the characteristic keratic precipitates and varying
degrees of iris atrophy. 26 cases (78.7%) had cataracts, 22 cases had (66.7%)
vitreous cells or opacities and 5 cases (15.2%) had heterochromia. Minimal
anterior chamber cells were found in 94% of the cases. Fifteen eyes (45.4%)
required cataract surgery. Five eyes (15.2%) had glaucoma and one eye
required filtration surgery during follow-up. There were no cases of severe
attack of uveitis following surgery. Visual acuity after cataract surgery were
20/40 or better in all eyes (10 eyes were 20/20 ).
Conclusion: FHI is a relatively mild form of uveitis with unknown etiology. The
characteristic keratic precipitates are accompanied by varying degrees of iris
atrophy with or without heterochromia, cataract and less commonly glaucoma.
The presence of cataract and /or glaucoma are the major factors affecting
visual prognosis.

Purpose Analysis of two clinical forms of ‹white dot› syndromes posterior
uveitis in the definitive and presumed ocular sarcoidosis. Methods We find
whitish spotted lesions in 50% patients with sarcoidosis-associated posterior
uveitis. We divided the patients in two clinical presentations. The first group
was with periphlebitis and discrete white spots around retinal venules-›candlewax›.
The second group is characterized by yellow-orange solitary nodulesmultifocal
choroiditis. We tested complications and visual acuity. Results Visual
acuity was the Snellen equivalent 0.5+/-0.36 in the first group. The visual
acuity was better in the second group with lesions at the level of choroids
0.8+/-0.39 Snellen equivalent. One-way analysis of variance ANOVA showed
statistically significant difference between study groups and visual acuity
(p=0.03). The severity of the clinical presentation is 11.8+/-2.04 points for the
first group. In the second group the average score that reflects the severity of
the clinical presentations is 5.8+/-4.18 points. T-test for independent samples
was calculated statistically significant difference between group (p=0.02).
Conclusion Statistically significant differences in visual acuity are the result of
vasculitis in the group with ‹candle-wax› phenomenon that is associated with
vasculitis of the retina and is causing CEM and the decrease in visual acuity.

Comparison between Optical Coherence Tomography and
Fluorescein Angiography for the diagnosis of macular oedema in
patients with uveitis

1. University Hospital ‹St.George›
Purpose: To compare optical coherence tomography (OCT) with fluorescein
angiography (FA) for the detection of macular oedema (MO) in patients with
uveitis.
Methods: Prospective analysis of 28 patients (32 eyes) with uveitis is made.
Routine ophthalmological examination, etiological search, FA and OCT are
done. Statistical processing is done with SPSS 17.0.
Results: Macular oedema is not verified in 18 eyes from 32 with FA. OCT also
has not detected macular oedema in this 18 eyes, therefore there is complete
agreement between the two methods for diagnostics in eyes without MO. MO
is proved with OCT in 9 eyes, whereas in 5 of them – it is missed with FA.
The rate of agreement is (????) 0.0669, (?
