Purpose:
To assess retinal and choroidal thickness changes in eyes with a first episode of unilateral non granulomatous acute anterior uveitis (AU).
Methods:
Thirty-one patients with acute unilateral non granulomatous AU who had undergone spectral domain optical coherence tomography (SD-OCT) of both eyes were included in this retrospective study. Retinal thickness (RT) as defined by the Early Treatment Diabetic Retinopathy Study (ETDRS) and subfoveal choroidal thickness (SFCT) obtained by SD-OCT were recorded. Healthy fellow eyes of the patients served as the control.
Results:
A significant thickening in 1mm of ETDRS subfield and in subfoveal choroid was observed in eyes with acute AU when compared with the unaffected fellow eyes (P=0.005 and P<0.00001, respectively). RT and SFCT of affected eyes did not show a significant difference in terms of HLA-B27 antigen presence or absence (P>0.05, for all).
Conclusions:
Significant posterior segment changes were detected in eyes with acute unilateral non granulomatous AU.
