  • Title: [Clinical aspects of traumatic uveitis and causes of enucleation].
    Author: Valeeva RG, Grishina VS, Iluridze SL.
    Journal: Vestn Oftalmol; 1997; 113(3):38-41. PubMed ID: 9265361.
    Abstract:
    The authors analyze 37 cases with grave traumatic uveitis eventuating in enucleation. Terms of enucleation after the injury, type of the injury, clinical picture of chronic uveitis, echographic and electrophysiological findings are presented. In ten patients signs of sensitization to ocular tissues were detected in various periods after the injury. Sensitization was detected by the leukocyte migration inhibition test (LMIT). The authors regard the results as a response to release of tissue antigens in the bloodflow because of impairment of the blood-eye barrier caused by the trauma. The authors claim that the results of LMIT in traumatic uveitis may be regarded as an additional, together with the clinical symptoms, criterion among indications to enucleation.
