Özet
Purpose: To determine the etiology, clinical course, complications, and outcome of uveitis in pediatric patients. Material and Method: We retrospectively reviewed the medical charts of 64 eyes of 43 patients, who had been followed up at a University clinic. Demographic and etiological features, clinical course, complications, and visual outcome were analyzed. Results: Male/female ratio was 22/21. Median age at the first visit was 14 (3-18) years. Unilateral involvement was observed in 22 (51.16%) patients. Anterior uveitis was the most common form (67.19%). Idiopathic uveitis was seen in 25 (58.14%) patients. The most commonly identified etiological entities were juvenile idiopathic arthritis (JIA) (5 patients) and Behcet's disease (4 patients). Both glaucoma and cataract were the most common complications (12.50%, 6.25%; respectively). Final VA was equal or better than 20/40 in 47 eyes (73.43%). Discussion: Uveitis in pediatric patients was mostly idiopathic. The most commonly identified etiologic entities were JIA and Behcet's disease. Final visual outcome was favorable with appropriate treatment.
