Purpose:
Analyse and describe the anatomical and etiological classification, clinical and epidemiological characteristics and most frequent symptoms of uveitis cases in our population.
Patients And Method:
Descriptive, retrospective observational study of uveitis cases treated in the Ophthalmology Department of Virgen del Rocío University Hospital in 2021. The demographic and clinical characteristics were studied.
Results:
A total of 109cases of uveitis were studied, 46 men and 63 women, with a mean age of 45.43±16.11 years. The most frequent symptoms were pain (74.31%), hyperemia (73.39%) and blurred vision (65.14%). The most frequent anatomical classification was anterior (55.96%), followed by panuveitis (18.35%), posterior (12.84%) and intermediate uveitis (7.34%). Regarding etiology, most uveitis were idiopathic (42.99%), followed by non-infectious (38.32%) and finally infectious (18.69%).
Conclusions:
In southern España, the characteristics of uveitis are similar to other studies in Western countries.
