ABSTRACT
Objetivo Analizar y describir la clasificación anatómica y etiológica, las características clínicas y epidemiológicas y los síntomas más frecuentes de los casos de uveítis en nuestra población. Pacientes y método Estudio observacional descriptivo, retrospectivo de los casos de uveítis atendidos en el Servicio de Oftalmología del Hospital Universitario Virgen del Rocío en el año 2021. Se estudiaron las características demográficas y clínicas. Resultados Se estudiaron 109 casos de uveítis, en 46 hombres y 63 mujeres, con una media de edad de 45,43±16,11 años. Los síntomas más frecuentes fueron dolor (74,31%), hiperemia (73,39%) y visión borrosa (65,14%). La clasificación anatómica más frecuente fue anterior (55,96%), seguida de panuveítis (18,35%), uveítis posterior (12,84%) e intermedia (7,34%). En cuanto a la etiología, la mayoría de las uveítis fueron idiopáticas (42,99%), seguidas de las no infecciosas (38,32%) y las infecciosas (18,69%). Conclusiones En el sur de España, las características de la uveítis son similares a las de otros estudios en países occidentales (AU)

Patients and method Descriptive, retrospective observational study of uveitis cases treated in the Ophthalmology Department of Virgen del Rocío University Hospital in 2021. The demographic and clinical characteristics were studied. Results A total of 109cases of uveitis were studied, 46 men and 63 women, with a mean age of 45.43±16.11 years.

The most frequent anatomical classification was anterior (55.96%), followed by panuveitis (18.35%), posterior (12.84%) and intermediate uveitis (7.34%). Regarding etiology, most uveitis were idiopathic (42.99%), followed by non-infectious (38.32%) and finally infectious (18.69%). Conclusions In southern España, the characteristics of uveitis are similar to other studies in Western countries (AU)

PURPOSE: To describe the ophthalmic findings and diagnosis of a case of intravascular large B-cell lymphoma. METHODS: Clinical case observational report. CLINICAL CASE: A Spanish 51-year-old man referred to our hospital with a diagnosis of panuveitis. The patient presented with blurred vision, photophobia, fever, and weight loss. Ocular examination revealed anterior uveitis, vitritis, and multiple round and oval creamy spots on the posterior pole. Fluorescein angiography, optical coherence tomography (OCT), and angio-OCT were used for the ocular examination. The diagnosis of lymphoma was formulated on the basis of a random normal skin biopsy, which showed significant CD20 cellularity within the vessels and extensive CD3 expression. CONCLUSIONS: Intravascular lymphoma is a rare form of extranodal diffuse large B-cell lymphoma, often with delayed diagnosis because of the nonspecific symptoms. Hence, random skin biopsy could be useful in the diagnosis.
