PURPOSE: To report the clinical statistical analysis of patients with endogenous intraocular inflammation who visited Nippon Medical School Hospital during the 8 years from 2004 to 2012. SUBJECTS AND METHODS: This retrospective study involved 759 new patients with endogenous intraocular inflammation who visited Nippon Medical School Hospital during the 8 years from April 2004 to April 2012. RESULTS: The subjects comprised 357 men and 402 women. The ratio of men to women was 1 : 1.1. The age averaged 50.8 ± 16.6 years. Definitive diagnosis was made in 464 cases (61.1%). The most frequent clinical entity was sarcoidosis, followed by scleritis, Vogt-Koyanagi-Harada disease, herpetic iridocyclitis without acute retinal necrosis, acute anterior uveitis associated with human leukocyte antigen (HLA) -B27 and Behçet's disease. Anterior uveitis was the most frequent compared with intermediate, posterior, and pan-uveitis. The incidence of secondary glaucoma was 28.6%, and steroid responder was 28.6%. CONCLUSION: Sarcoidosis, scleritis and Vogt-Koyanagi-Harada disease were frequent intraocular inflammations in ophthalmologic patients at Nippon Medical School Hospital.
