	Iridocyclitis - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Iridocyclitis, a type of anterior uveitis, is a condition in which the uvea of the eye suffers inflammation.
		Iridocyclitis is usually caused by direct exposure of the eyes to chemicals, particularly lacrimators.
		Chronic iridocyclitis is usually associated with systemic disorders including ankylosing spondylitis, Behçet's syndrome, inflammatory bowel disease, juvenile rheumatoid arthritis, Reiter's syndrome, sarcoidosis, syphilis, tuberculosis, and Lyme disease.

		The majority of patients develop iridocyclitis within 4 to 7 years after JRA onset; the average age at the time of diagnosis of JRA-associated iridocyclitis is 6 to 8 years.
		The highest risk of iridocyclitis is within 2 years after the onset of arthritis and declines considerably after 8 years have elapsed from the onset of JRA.
		Once iridocyclitis is diagnosed, the managing ophthalmologist can determine the frequency of visits, depending on the severity of uveitis, its response to therapy, and the treatment used.

		Discussion.--The number of patients recruited to evaluate the effect of oral acyclovir in the treatment of iridocyclitis caused by HSV was too small to achieve statistically conclusive results.
		The incidence of HSV iridocyclitis is low, as evidenced by the recruitment of only 50 patients from 8 major treatment centers during a 4-year period.
		Unfortunately, not enough patients were entered into the study because iridocyclitis from herpes simplex virus infection, without other forms of corneal disease such as disciform keratitis or stromal necrotizing keratitis, was not often seen.

		The painful joint swelling children with JRA experience is one example of inflammation; another is iridocyclitis, an inflammation in the front of the eye, near the iris.
		An eye inflammation called iridocyclitis or closely-related forms called anterior uveitis and iritis, are sometimes associated with JRA, especially the Pauciarticular type.
		If iridocyclitis is found early and treated properly, it is unlikely to cause any trouble.

		These corneal changes were accompanied by a marked suppurative iridocyclitis, the anterior chamber usually being filled with pus and hemorrhagic debris.
		Organization of this inflammatory material was associated with shallowing of the anterior chamber, formation of retrocorneal membrane, and obliteration of the chamber angle by peripheral anterior synechias.
		Microscopic examination confirmed these clinical observations and also revealed an associated iridocyclitis of the suppurative and nongranulomatous variety together with postnecrotic scarring of the iris and ciliary body.

		Chronic iridocyclitis affects the iris and ciliary body (glandlike structure) behind the iris.
		Therefore, it is important for pediatricians to refer all children with juvenile rheumatoid arthritis to an Ophthalmologist for evaluation.
		Since chronic iridocyclitis may start years after the juvenile rheumatoid arthritis began, children with this form of arthritis should have periodic checkups into their teenage years.

		Still, even today, 12% of pauciarticular JRA children go blind as a result of the consequences of low grade chronic intraocular inflammation; and these children are typically under the longitudinal care of ophthalmologists.
		We have strongly advocated the philosophy of no active inflammation in children with JRA associated iridocyclitis.
		If the patient’s uveitis continues to recur every time the steroids are withdrawn, we suggest then moving on to chronic use of an oral non-steroidal anti-inflammatory agent.

		Patients with active HSV iridocyclitis were randomized either to oral treatment with 200 mg acyclovir capsules (400 mg five times daily) for 10 weeks or to the identical dose of placebo capsules.
		Although the number of patients enrolled in this trial was too small to achieve statistically conclusive results, the trend in the results suggests a benefit in adding oral acyclovir to the treatment of HSV iridocyclitis in patients receiving topical corticosteroids and trifluridine prophylaxis.
