Abstract
This review offers comprehensive insights into the presenting features, terminology, imaging techniques and management strategies associated with uveitis, specifically designed to help neurologists understand this complex condition. We have created a glossary of terms used in uveitis care and ocular imaging to help clarify terminology. We have ordered uveitis subtypes in an intuitive manner, focusing on those that neurologists are more likely to encounter. We have written the article from the perspective of uveitis specialists practising in the UK, while emphasising the global variability in clinical presentations and causes. By offering practical guidance on recognising uveitis features as well as treatment options, we aim for this to be a neurologists' aide mémoire to help manage intraocular inflammation.
期刊介绍:
The essential point of Practical Neurology is that it is practical in the sense of being useful for everyone who sees neurological patients and who wants to keep up to date, and safe, in managing them. In other words this is a journal for jobbing neurologists - which most of us are for at least part of our time - who plough through the tension headaches and funny turns week in and week out. Primary research literature potentially relevant to routine clinical practice is far too much for any neurologist to read, let alone understand, critically appraise and assimilate. Therefore, if research is to influence clinical practice appropriately and quickly it has to be digested and provided to neurologists in an informative and convenient way.
