ABSTRACT
OBJECTIVE:
To evaluate the effect of pars plana vitrectomy in the management of patients with pars planitis.METHODS:
A retrospective analysis of the clinical course, post-operative complications and recurrent uveal inflammation following pars plana vitrectomy in patients with pars planitis.RESULTS:
The study included 22 eyes of 19 patients. The mean follow-up was 55.7 (± 39.6) months (range 7 - 144 months). The surgical indications were, persistent vitreous opacities in 10 eyes, vitreous haemorrhage in 9 eyes, and epiretinal membrane in 3 eyes. There was an improvement in the clinical course of the uveitis in 19 of the 22 eyes (86.4%), allowing the suspension of the systemic treatment in 16 patients. An improvement of the visual acuity was observed in 20 eyes (90.9%). The most common post-operative complications were, lens opacities in 9 eyes (40.9%), and glaucoma in 4 eyes (18.2%).CONCLUSIONS:
The results of this study suggest that pars plana vitrectomy has a beneficial effect on the course and visual function of patients with vitreo-retinal complications associated with pars planitis.
