Multipl Skleroz ile İlişkili Üveitler

Pur po se: To evaluate the clinical findings and outcomes of uveitis in patients with multiple sclerosis (MS).\udMa te ri al and Met hod: We retrospectively evaluated the medical records of eight MS patients who had presented with uveitis to the uveitis\udclinic between years 2005 and 2011.\udRe sults: The mean visual acuity of the thirteen eyes of eight patients (seven women, one man; mean age 39±7.5 years; mean follow-up\ud3.8±1.8 years) was 0.7±0.2 at the time of presentation. Two patients were diagnosed as anterior uveitis related with MS, five patients as\udintermediate uveitis and retinal vasculitis, and one patient as retinal vasculitis alone. All patients received interferon β-1a during the\udfollow-up. The uveitis treatment was applied according to the localization of the disease. Except in one, the visual acuity was restored in\udall patients at the end of follow-up.\udDis cus si on: Uveitis can be taken under control and recurrences and permanent visual loss can be prevented in patients treated with\udinterferon β-1a.(Turk J Ophthalmol 2012; 42: 462-5
