Majorly eye related disorders are due to some infection history in the body, it can also be an infection of other organs than ENT. The term intermediate uveitis refers to inflammation of the anterior vitreous, ciliary body, and peripheral retina that may or may not be associated with infection or systemic disease, whereas the term “pars planitis” refers to a subset of intermediate uveitis that is associated with snowbank and snowball formation in the absence of infectious or systemic disease.

Pars Planitis

INTRODUCTION

Also known as intermediate uveitis (IU), peripheral retinal inflammation, vitritis. Young men are at more risk of developing pars planitis than women. The pars plana is part of the ciliary body, which is placed between the iris and the choroid. If the pars plana gets inflamed, you may notice fuzzy vision, floaters in the visual field, and, finally, vision loss. Pars planitis often affects both eyes but can be asymmetric.

CAUSES

Few more important factors are – large scale infections like tuberculosis, lyme disease and bacterial infections.

DIAGNOSIS

  • Characteristic features which help in diagnosis are snowballs , snowflakes. ( visible wbc white blood cells inside the pars plana region of the eyeball ).
  • Blood examinations- CBC , ESR (to rule out any infections)
  • Protein profile ( to rule out the autoimmune condition)
  • X Ray chest
  • MRI brain ( head eye anatomy)

TREATMENT

  • Steroid injection to the eye. (local corticosteroids)
  • Oral anti inflammatory medication
  • Pars plana vitrectomy ( fluid gel like liquid is removed from eye)
  • Symptomatic medication (associated itching redness etc)
