    Abstract Purpose: The current gold standard to grade vitreous inflammation is the Nussenblatt scale based in clinical examination, published in 1985. Nowadays a big effort is undergoing to come out with more objective and reliable methods based in optical coherence (OCT) imaging analysis.
    Methods: A systematic review was done to identify the articles that quantify or assess qualitatively vitreous inflammation with OCT.
    Results: Twelve papers were included. Only one paper analyzed qualitatively the anatomy of the vitreous body and its potential influence in cystoid macular edema, while the rest assessed vitreous inflammation quantitatively using the relative reflectivity of the vitreous body with different retinal structures or quantifying the hyperreflective dots in the vitreous.
    Conclusion: The new development of OCT-based scales for measuring vitreous inflammation could replace the current clinical grading scales as an end point for future clinical trials.

    Abstract Introduction: The pathogenesis of tubulointerstitial nephritis with uveitis syndrome (TINU) is thought to be an interplay between environmental and genetic factors leading to an inappropriate immune response.
    Methods: Report of a clinical case.
    Results: We present a case of TINU syndrome which meets the clinical and anatomopathological features according to the classification criteria of the standardization of uveitis nomenclature (SUN) working group. The only possible causal agent was found to be the intake of a nutritional supplement.
    Conclusion: Our case highlights the role of environmental factors as triggers for this disorder.

    Abstract Macrophage-like cells (MLC) have a fundamental role in the maintenance of immunosurveillance, response to inflammation and tissue injury in the retina. MLC can be visualized in vivo with conventional en face optical coherence tomography (OCT). The aim of this study is to describe this population of cells in active toxoplasmosis. We present two cases of active toxoplasma retinochoroiditis imaged at 2 time points, where the MLC were threshold after image processing and averaging for removing background and noise. In both patients the MLC collocated with the area of ischemia at the level of the choriocapillaris and retinal vessels.

    Abstract Vasculitis is a group of diseases characterized by the inflammation of the blood vessel walls. They are classified according to the size of the main vessel involved: large vessel, medium vessel, and small vessel vasculitis. Ophthalmic manifestations are quite common in most of these diseases. Episcleritis and scleritis are the most prevalent manifestation of vasculitis. However, there are certain ocular features characteristic of specific vasculitis entities. Given the severity and potential life-threat of these diseases, knowledge of the ocular manifestations is mandatory for the ophthalmologists.

    Abstract Tubulointerstitial nephritis and uveitis (TINU) syndrome is a rare autoimmune disease with unclear pathogenesis but probably related to a combination of genetic predisposition and environmental triggers. Diagnosis is challenging due to the asynchronous onset of renal and ocular symptoms, and it is necessary to exclude other causes of nephritis and uveitis. It affects both sexes, with an overall predominance of females and a median age of onset of 15 years. TINU syndrome is characterized by bilateral, non-granulomatous anterior uveitis and tubulointerstitial nephritis, which can cause acute renal failure in severe cases. Several triggers have been identified including concurrent infections, medications, or endocrine diseases. The diagnosis of TINU is mainly based on clinical and analytical findings, and although urinary β2-microglobulin is a useful parameter no specific diagnostic test is available. Current perspectives intend to facilitate its diagnosis identifying susceptibility HLA genotypes, serologic markers and imaging tools to avoid renal biopsy. Treatment options for TINU syndrome include corticosteroids, immunosuppressive agents, and intravenous immunoglobulins, but relapses are frequent, and management can be challenging. The purpose of this review is to provide an updated summary of the diagnostic and treatment strategies of TINU syndrome, helping clinicians recognize and manage this rare autoimmune disorder.

    Abstract Introduction: Computer vision, understood as the area of science that trains computers to interpret digital images through both artificial intelligence (AI) and classical algorithms, has significantly advanced the analysis and interpretation of optical coherence tomography (OCT) in retina research. The aim of this review is to summarise the recent advances of computer vision in imaging processing in uveitis, with a particular focus in optical coherence tomography images.
    Material and methods: Literature review.
    Results: The development of computer vision to assist uveitis diagnosis and prognosis is still undergoing, but important efforts have been made in the field.
    Conclusion: The automatising of image processing in uveitis could be fundamental to establish objective and standardised outcomes for future clinical trials. In addition, it could help to better understand the disease and its progression.

    Abstract A 78-year-old female was referred to our hospital due to a decrease of visual acuity in her left eye. On examination, presence of left choroidal folds and subretinal fluid was disclosed. After being misdiagnosed as neovascular age-related macular degeneration treatment with intravitreal injections of Aflibercept was started. Despite improvement of fluid, persistence of choroidal folds encouraged a magnetic resonance imaging revealing a left retrobulbar nodular lesion. Furthermore, development of hypopyon during follow-up allowed a flow cytometry analysis of an aqueous humour sample that confirmed infiltration by a non-Hodgkin mature B-cell lymphoproliferative process. Finally, treatment with Rituximab and intravenous corticosteroids achieved complete resolution. Primary choroidal lymphoma may occur with an atypical presentation, including hypopyon uveitis. Thus, familiarity with its clinical features is fundamental for an early recognition and correct management.
