| Résumé : | Intermediate uveitis is a chronic and insidious disease. Children and young adults are preferentially affected. Vision loss and floaters are commonly reported in a quiet eye. The inflammation predominates in the vitreous and some characteristic peripheral exsudates may be observed. Intermediate uveitis is generally idiopathic but may sometimes be associated with a systemic disease that must be researched and treated. The treatment of the idiopathic form is only necessary in case of complications and will consist in corticosteroids eventually combined with immunosuppressive drugs. Surgery (cryotherapy, vitrectomy) will be reserved for complications non responding to medical therapy. |
