Electroretinogram abnormalities in nonanterior childhood uveitis.

ABSTRACT:

Purpose

A major point of concern in uveitis is the development of irreversible retinal changes after inflammation. In this study, we assess how nonanterior childhood uveitis affects retinal function using full-field electroretinography (ERG).

Methods

Cross-sectional study. ERGs of 63 uveitis eyes (33 children) were measured according to extended International Society for Clinical Electrophysiology of Vision (ISCEV) protocols. ERG abnormalities were investigated in relation to the following clinical parameters: demographics, uveitis characteristics, including severity of inflammation, treatment, best corrected visual acuity (BCVA), cystoid macular oedema (CME) on optical coherence tomography and fluorescein angiography score.

Results

The ERG showed abnormalities in 34
