Abstract
Uveitis involving the posterior segment is a sight-threatening condition that can be associated with multiple underlying ocular and systemic diseases. Accurate diagnosis is the foundation for selecting treatment that can preserve vision and is guided by the findings of a thorough history, clinical examination, laboratory testing, and imaging. Evaluation and management of posterior uveitis varies globally, however, because of geographic/ethnic variation in its causes, differences in local practices, and varying access to diagnostic modalities and treatments.<br /> <br />This case-based program captures the highlights of a roundtable discussion, in which an international panel of uveitis subspecialists provides their expert perspectives on the diagnosis and management of uveitis involving the posterior segment, including the role of emerging diagnostic techniques and new and emerging therapies. The cases are from the files of Sunil K. Srivastava, MD.
