Abstract

The variety of possible presentations of uveitis of the posterior segment makes it difficult to generalise about the surgical approach [1]–[3]. The conditions that the surgeon may encounter, depending on the racial mix and geographical location, include the following (Figs. 12.1–12.4):

  • Intermediate uveitis

    Sarcoidosis

    Uveitis of juvenile idiopathic arthritis (anterior uveitis with posterior segment complications)

    Behçet’s disease

    Idiopathic vasculitis, including Eales’ disease

    Bird-shot chorioretinopathy

    Vogt-Koyanaga-Harada syndrome

    Sympathetic uveitis
