[Clinico-morphological features of posterior post-traumatic uveitis]

Time course of the clinical picture and echographic symptoms of posterior posttraumatic uveitis are described. Two patterns of posterior posttraumatic uveitis are presented: chronic with a favorable course, when inflammation at the posterior pole is arrested within 3-6 months, and chronic progressive with an unfavorable course, with rapidly developing occular subatrophy, progressive hypotone, loss of visual functions, and high risk of sympathic ophthalmia. Morphological changes in the eye membranes in chronic progressive posterior posttraumatic uveitis are described.
