ABSTRACT
Round 10-12% of all children who present with signs of uveitis suffer from intermediate uveitis. Compared to uveitis anterior in children, the association of intermediate uveitis to a systemic disease is much more complicated. Most cases of uveitis intermedia are idiopathic and show the signs of a pars planitis. Post-infectious and immunological causes are difficult to detect. In cases of uveitis in children, it is necessary to know the specific symptoms of possible underlying systemic diseases. On this basis, an adequate and specific diagnosis will most probably be successful. This paper presents the different causes of uveitis intermedia in childhood and compares the incidence of the disease in comparison with adults as far as this is mentioned in the literature.
