Protocolo diagnóstico de las uveítis anteriores

Abstract

Uveitis is characterized by inflammation of the ocular vascular layer between the sclera and the retina. It is divided into anterior, intermediate, and posterior uveitis according to the anatomical location of the inflammation. Most cases of anterior uveitis are idiopathic, but it is essential to make a differential diagnosis, especially with autoimmune diseases, infections, or ocular causes. To do so, a good case history and physical examination as well as conducting additional tests are important.
