1. Band Keratopathies
• Corneal degenerations, deposition of calcium in the
Bowman layer, may complicate chronic uveitis
• Actinic band keratopathy, exposed chronically to high
levels of ultraviolet light, a yellow hue to the point
“oil-droplet keratopathy”

Pathology of Uvea
Uveitis
Inflammation in one or more of the tissues that
compose the uvea (Iris, choroid, cilliary body)
Etiology :
1. Infectious agents (e.g., Pneumocystis carinii,
toxoplasmosis)
2. Idiopathic (e.g., sarcoidosis)
3. Autoimmune (sympathetic ophthalmia)
bilateral granulomatous inflammation –
panuveitis
Pathology of Uvea
Uveitis
• Uveal inflammation may be manifest principally in
the anterior segment or both the anterior and
posterior segments
• Inflammation in one compartment is typically
associated with inflammation in the other
Pathology of Uvea
Uveitis
Sympathetic ophthalmia
• Injured eye - retinal antigens sequestered from the
immune system - lymphatics in the conjunctiva -
delayed hypersensitivity – Injured eye and
noninjured eye contralaterally affected (2 weeks -
years after injury)
• Diffuse granulomatous inflammation of uvea
• Tx : systemic immunosuppressive agents

Uveitis
Sympathetic ophthalmia
Pathology of Uvea
Neoplasm
• Most common intraocular malignancy of adults is
metastasis to the uvea, typically to the choroid
• Uveal Nevi and Melanomas
– Uveal melanoma is the most common primary intraocular
malignancy of adults
– Most uveal melanomas are incidental findings or present
with visual symptoms
– the 5-year survival rate : 80%,
– mortality rate is 40% at 10 years

RETINA & VITREOUS
Pathology of Retina & Vitreous
Pathology of Retina & Vitreous
Pathology of Retina & Vitreous
Pathology of Retina & Vitreous
• Derivative of the diencephalon
• Responds to injury by means of gliosis
• there are no lymphatics
• The adult vitreous humor is avascular
• Incomplete regression of fetal vasculature running
through the vitreous humor : Persistent hyperplastic
primary vitreous
• Posterior vitreous detachment (Posterior hyaloid –
neurosensory retina)
Pathology of Retina & Vitreous
Retinal Detachment
• Separation of the neurosensory retina from the RPE
(Retinal Pigment epithelium)
• Type :
1. Non-rhegmatogenous (without retinal break)
2. Rhegmatogenous (with retinal break)
Pathology of Retina & Vitreous
Retinal Detachment (Non-rhegmatogenous)
• Subretinal space is filled
with protein-rich exudate
• The outer segments of
the photoreceptors are
missing
• Ex: choroidal tumors and
malignant hypertension
Pathology of Retina & Vitreous
Retinal Detachment (rhegmatogenous)
• Associated with a full-
thickness retinal defect
• May develop after the
vitreous collapses
structurally, and the
posterior hyaloid exerts
traction on points of
abnormally strong
adhesion to the retinal
internal limiting
membrane
Pathology of Retina & Vitreous
Retinal Detachment (rhegmatogenous)
• Liquefied vitreous
humor then seeps
through the tear and
gains access to the
potential space between
the neurosensory retina
and the RPE
Pathology of Retina & Vitreous
Retinal Vascular Disease
Hypertension
• Normally, the thin walls of retinal arterioles permit a
direct visualization of the circulating blood by
ophthalmoscopy
• In retinal arteriolosclerosis, the thickened arteriolar
wall changes the ophthalmic perception of
circulating blood
Pathology of Retina & Vitreous
Retinal Vascular Disease
Hypertension
• Reduced Arterioles
diameter
• Blood column color
appears to be less
saturated (“copper wire” to
“silver wire” appearance)
• The vein is compressed
where sclerotic arteriole
crosses over it
Pathology of Retina & Vitreous
Retinal Vascular Disease
Hypertension
• Vessels in the retina and choroid may be damaged -
focal choroidal infarcts (Elschnig spots)
• Damage the overlying RPE and permit the exudate
to accumulate in the potential space between the
neurosensory retina and the RPE – retinal
dettachment
• Occlusion of retinal arterioles may produce infarcts
of the nerve fiber layer of the retina -
“cotton-wool spots”
Pathology of Retina & Vitreous
Retinal Vascular Disease - Hypertension
Hypertensin
The wall of retinal arteriole (arrow) is thick
Retinal hemorrhage

Retinal Vascular Disease
2. Proliferative diabetic retinopathy
Posterior hyaloid of the vitreous
Neovascular membrane
Pathology of Retina & Vitreous
Retinal Artery and Vein Occlusions
• The central retinal artery or its branches can be
occluded by disorders that affect the vessels in
general (Ex : by atherosclerosis – thrombosis)
• Segmental/diffuse infarct of the retina
• The retina swells acutely and becomes optically
opaque
Pathology of Retina & Vitreous
Retinal Artery and Vein Occlusions
• Retinal vein occlusion may occur with or without
ischemia
• In ischemic retinal vein occlusion -
neovascularization of the retina
Pathology of Retina & Vitreous
Other Retinal Degenerations
Retinitis Pigmentosa
• Inherited condition resulting from mutations that
affect rods and cones, or RPE
• May be inherited as X-linked recessive, autosomal
recessive, or autosomal dominant
Pathology of Retina & Vitreous
Other Retinal Degenerations
Retinitis Pigmentosa
• Mutatioin on genes that regulate the visual cascade
and visual cycle, structural genes (transpanins),
transcription factors, retinal catabolic pathways,
and mitochondrial metabolism
• Loss of rods (night blindness) and cones (central
visual acuity)
• Accumulation of retinal pigment around blood
vessels
Pathology of Retina & Vitreous
Other Retinal Degenerations
Retinitis
Etiology :
• Candida, Cytomegalovirus
• Immunocompromise state
• Results in multiple retinal abscesses
Pathology of Retina & Vitreous
Retinal Neoplasm
Retinoblastoma
• Most common primary intraocular malignancy of
children
• Arise from neuronal progenitor
• 40% of cases - germline mutation of RB gene
