    Abstract This book focuses on secondary conditions aggravating uveitis. In addition to diagnosing, treating, and managing uveitis as an entity, particular attention is given to the pathogenesis of complications arising from ocular inflammation, prevention and treatment thereof. The chapters trace the course of a particular complication, its cause and importantly how to avoid it. Leading expert specialist explain a variety of occurring secondary conditions and their management. Inflammatory diseases causing these complications are briefly touched; the main focus will be the pathogenesis of the actual complication, prevention and treatment.This multi-disciplinary approach to complications of uveitis offers the reader, the tools to prevent or how to correctly manage these. Being of special interest to the uveitis specialist, this book also will be of value for all those with an interest in secondary conditions of ocular inflammations.

    Abstract The editorial explores the profound implications of the Severe Acute Respiratory Syndrome Coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2) pandemic, which emerged in December 2019 and rapidly evolved into a global health crisis. Despite initial focus on respiratory symptoms, the virus revealed significant ocular implications, prompting a reevaluation of the eye's role in its transmission, diagnosis, and systemic effects. The paradoxical nature of SARS-CoV-2-simultaneously novel and familiar within the coronavirus family-has been central to guiding the global medical response, including the swift development of vaccines. The pandemic has intensified research into the eye's susceptibility to viral infections, enhancing our understanding of virus-host interactions and the systemic impacts of viral diseases. The editorial delves into the pathophysiology of SARS-CoV-2, highlighting its potential to trigger autoinflammatory and autoimmune reactions with significant ocular repercussions. It examines the rapid vaccine development and deployment, the associated ocular side effects, and the ongoing research necessary to mitigate these outcomes. As the World Health Organization declared the end of COVID-19 as a public health emergency, the focus has shifted toward understanding the virus's long-term implications, including its effects on ocular health. This work underscores the critical role of interdisciplinary collaboration in addressing the systemic impacts of viral infections. It emphasizes the importance of ophthalmology in the broader context of public health and highlights the need for continued vigilance, research, and adaptation in a postpandemic world. The editorial calls for an integrated approach to health care, emphasizing the lessons learned from the SARS-CoV-2 pandemic to prepare for future health challenges, with a particular focus on the intersection of virology, immunology, and ophthalmology.

    Abstract Purpose: To review the multimodal imaging patterns of Acute Syphilitic Posterior Placoid Chorioretinitis (ASPPC).
    Methods: A systematic review.
    Results: Syphilis has started to attract the attention of researchers once again due to recent surges, with The World Health Organization (WHO) reporting around 12 million new cases per year. When left untreated, syphilis has a mortality rate of 8-58%, with a higher death rate in males. Eye manifestations occur both in secondary and tertiary stages of syphilis, although ocular involvement may occur at any stage of the disease. Syphilis has been always recognized as "the great mimicker" since it can have multiple clinical patterns of presentation. However, Acute Syphilitic Posterior Placoid Chorioretinitis (ASPPC) represents the typical pattern of the disease and can be easily distinguished. In addition, the advent of modern technologies and the progress made in multimodal imaging have provided more details on its identikit: the pattern of pre-retinal, retinal, retinochoroidal and optic nerve involvement can be identified before going through the laboratory work-up for a correct and appropriate investigation of the disease.
    Conclusion: This review highlights the peculiar pattern of ASPPC, by reporting the diagnostic process made by all the imaging techniques used for a correct multimodal imaging assessment.

    Abstract Purpose: This review aims to summarize the current fundus autofluorescence (FAF) ailment for diagnosis and follow-up of uveitis.
    Methods: A thorough literature search was performed in the PubMed database.
    Results: FAF maps the retinal pigment epithelium's (RPE) health. Therefore, several posterior infectious and non. This fast, easy-to-perform, noninvasive technique can detect and manage infectious uveitis.
    Conclusions: FAF serves to understand pathophysiologic mechanisms of uveitis and is a valuable prognostic indicator of themselves.

    Abstract Purpose: To report the first series of tubulointerstitial nephritis (TINU) syndrome from the Middle East.
    Methods: We retrospectively included patients with elevated urine beta-2 microglobulin, and a diagnosis of TINU based on anterior uveitis with or without posterior involvement. Multimodal imaging, duration of follow-up, local and systemic treatment used were recorded.
    Results: 24 eyes of 12 patients (8 male, mean age 20.3 years) met the criteria for TINU. The most common posterior segment clinical finding was optic nerve head edema (41.7%), while on fluorescein angiography 58.3% and 75% of eyes had peripheral vascular and optic disc leakage, respectively. The mean follow-up was 2.5 years and all patients required immunomodulatory treatment.
    Conclusions: Middle Eastern patients with TINU seem to have a male predominance, a bimodal distribution in terms of age, and present with ocular involvement first. Multimodal imaging is paramount in detecting subclinical inflammation and tailoring immunomodulatory treatment.

    Abstract Despite having 20/20 vision, a 17-year-old Emirati female presented with central visual changes in her left eye. These changes were attributed to a dull foveal reflex with pigmentary alterations. Retinal pigment epithelium (RPE) mottling at the macula level, attenuating the ellipsoid zone, and a hyper-reflective line connecting the RPE to the outer nuclear layer was observed through spectral domain optical coherence tomography (SD-OCT) of the left eye. In the presence of negative results from laboratory evaluations, the patient was started on oral prednisolone. The medication induced an increased reflectivity of the inner layers on SD-OCT, which turned into a full-thickness macular retinitis with vitreous inflammation, causing a visual decrease to 20/80. A vitreous tap confirmed a positive result for HSV-1, and the patient was prescribed oral valacyclovir 3 g. This treatment led to a resolution of the retinitis and a restoration of the patient's vision to 20/25.

    Abstract Purpose: To describe the retinal vascular changes in birdshot chorioretinopathy (BSCR) using optical coherence tomography angiography (OCTA) and to compare them with changes in macular thickness.
    Methods: In this multicenter study, patients with a diagnosis of BSCR and a positive HLA-A29 underwent fluorescein angiography, spectral domain optical coherence tomography (SD-OCT), and OCTA. The foveal avascular zone (FAZ) and the area of capillary non-perfusion were manually measured by two examiners in fluorescein angiography (FA) and 3 × 3-mm OCTA images of the superficial retinal layer. These measurements were compared to central retinal thickness. To calculate normal capillary density, we collected data from 22 controls who had OCTA performed on one visit only.
    Results: A total of 44 eyes with BSCR were enrolled. The mean automated parafoveal superficial capillary density in BSCR eyes was 0.47 ± 0.03. The differences between the foveal capillary density of BSCR patients and healthy subjects were statistically significant (
    Conclusion: Our study demonstrates the potential contribution of OCTA as a new non-invasive imaging technology that monitors disease activity in BSCR patients.
