Abstract

Multispectral imaging (MSI) shows increasing strengths in detection of retinal and choroidal disease. The aim of this study was to evaluate the capacity of javascript:void(0), detecting retinal and choroidal abnormalities of uveitis which have not been described previously.The first case was a 49-year-old male patient who presented with visual disturbance and metamorphopsia in both eyes for 5 days, companying by a history of headache and hearing loss recently. The second case was related to a 45-year-old female patient who complained of blurred vision and a dark shadow before her right eye for 3 months. The third case corresponded to a 36-year-old male patient who presented with blurred vision and slight pain in his left eye for >1 week, and his blood tested positive for syphilis.Three Chinese patients with representative kind of uveitis were described in the study, including Vogt-Koyanagi-Harada syndrome, posterior uveitis with choroidal neovascularization, and syphilis-infected uveitis. Each affected eye had corresponding retinal and choroidal abnormalities evaluated by multiple ophthalmologic examinations.Case 1 was treated with oral prednisone at a dose of 1 mg/kg/d started at the early stage and then slowed tapering of the prednisone dose based on follow-up examinations. Case 2 received anti-VEGF treatment. Case 3 received the standard treatment for neurosyphilis.Due to timely diagnosis and treatment, all patients had a better prognosis.MSI provides a novel way to view retinal and choroidal abnormalities of uveitis, and may provide a supplemental method to morphological changes.
