ACUTE ANTERIOR UVEITIS (AAU)

symptoms:
pain, photosensitivity
to light
 redness with no
mucopurulent
discharge
 mild blurring of vision
may be noted
 most cases of AAU are
unilateral

ACUTE ANTERIOR UVEITIS
CLINICAL SIGNS
Intraocular pressure
(IOP)
- is often lower in the eye
with iritis secondary to
a decrease in aqueous
production by the
inflamed ciliary body
- in some cases, the IOP
may be elevated as a
result of altered
aqueous outflow; this
may be more common in
viral anterior uveitis
ACUTE ANTERIOR UVEITIS
CLINICAL SIGNS
Conjunctiva:
- typically perilimbal
injection termed ciliary
flush
- less commonly,
generalized redness of
the bulbar conjunctiva
- not found in Fuchs
heterochromic
iridocyclitis or the
anterior uveitis
associated with juvenile
idiopathic arthritis
ACUTE ANTERIOR UVEITIS
CLINICAL SIGNS
Cornea
Keratic precipitates
(KPs) may be present
- clusters of lymphocytes,
polymorphs on the
endothelium
- in nongranulomatous
iritis, they tend to be
small
- in granulomatous medium and large size called "mutton fat"
