RESUMEN
La uveítis intermedia es una enfermedad ocular caracterizada por la inflamación de la úvea, principalmente el vítreo anterior, la retina periférica y la pars plana. Diversas etiologías de carácter infeccioso, inflamatorio sistémico y local pueden asociarse a dicho fenómeno. Un cuadro infrecuente es el síndrome de nefritis túbulo-intersticial aguda asociado a uveítis. Presentamos el caso de una mujer de 64 años con antecedente de tiroiditis de Hashimoto, que desarrolló pérdida brusca de la agudeza visual en contexto de falla renal aguda. Se trata de una paciente con nefritis túbulo-intersticial aguda asociada a uveítis.
ABSTRACT
Intermediate uveitis is described as inflammation in the anterior vitreous, ciliary body and the peripheral retina. It is a subset of uveitis where the vitreous is the major site of damage. It has been reported to be associated with many local and systemic inflammatory and infectious diseases. An infrequent cause is the tubulointerstitial nephritis and uveitis syndrome. We report a case of an acute visual acuity loss related with renal failure in a 64 years old woman with Hashimoto disease. It was an acute tubulointerstitial nephritis and uveitis syndrome case.
