Ocular neovascularization in patients with uveitis.

摘要: Neovascularization is an infrequent but serious complication of uveitis. The retina and optic disk appear to be affected most often, although new blood vessels may arise from the iris, ciliary body, choroid as well. Although neovascularization can usually identified on careful clinical examination, some patients require fluorescein angiography or UBM. Numerous neovascular growth inhibitory factors have been experimentally. Clinically, however, uveitic appears determined directly by severity inflammation presence retinal nonperfusion. Virtually all with deserve a trial local systemic corticosteroids. Laser photocoagulation considered in those who fail respond corticosteroid therapy, only when nonperfusion has demonstrated angiography. Surgical excision newly formed reserved for selected CNV uveitis, should corticosteroids focal are ineffective otherwise contraindicated.
