Zusammenfassung
Die Uveitis intermedia betrifft 10 - 20 % aller Kinder, die an einer Uveitis erkranken.
Im Vergleich zur anterioren Uveitis ist eine Zuordnung der zugrunde liegenden Systemerkrankung
komplexer. Neben der häufigen idiopathischen Pars planitis kann die Uveitis intermedia
postinfektiöser oder autoimmunogener Ursache sein. Gerade bei seltenen zugrunde liegenden
systemischen Begleiterkrankungen ist es notwendig, dass an eine Assoziation gedacht
wird und eine gezielte Differenzialdiagnostik eingeleitet wird. Der Artikel informiert
über mögliche Ursachen einer Uveitis intermedia im Kindesalter und vergleicht die
Inzidenz dieser assoziierten Erkrankungen mit dem Vorkommen im Erwachsenenalter.
Abstract
Round 10 - 12 % of all children who present with signs of uveitis suffer from intermediate
uveitis. Compared to uveitis anterior in children, the association of intermediate
uveitis to a systemic disease is much more complicated. Most cases of uveitis intermedia
are idiopathic and show the signs of a pars planitis. Post-infectious and immunological
causes are difficult to detect. In cases of uveitis in children, it is necessary to
know the specific symptoms of possible underlying systemic diseases. On this basis,
an adequate and specific diagnosis will most probably be successful. This paper presents
the different causes of uveitis intermedia in childhood and compares the incidence
of the disease in comparison with adults as far as this is mentioned in the literature..
