Fuchs's heterochromic cyclitis in congenital ocular toxoplasmosis.

Fuchs's heterochromic cyclitis in congenital ocular toxoplasmosis.

We report a follow-up after 25 years of a patient with a congenital bilateral ocular toxoplasmosis who developed Fuchs's heterochromic cyclitis in her left eye. Whether Toxoplasma gondii can cause the development of Fuchs's heterochromic cyclitis, as our case suggests, or whether the iridocyclitis is a secondary ocular response to other agents, is not yet clear.

Glaucoma in Fuchs' heterochromic cyclitis associated with congenital Horner's syndrome.

We report a retrospective study of five patients with monocular Fuchs' heterochromic cyclitis associated with an ipsilateral Horner's syndrome. The minimum follow-up was 10 years. The presenting findings were cyclitis in three of the patients and heterochromia iridis associated with blepharoptosis in the other two. The major factors affecting all five patients were cataract and glaucoma. The in...

Fuch's heterochromic cyclitis: new clues regarding pathogenesis.

UCHS HETEROCHROMIC CYCLITIS (FHC) IS A CHRONIC, typically unilateral anterior segment uveitis syndrome.1 It is usually painless with limited inflammation characterized by diffuse, scattered, small and mediumsized keratic precipitates with mild anterior chamber flare, minimal anterior chamber cells, and iris atrophy that leads to secondary, acquired heterochromia. Immunohistochemistry of iris bi...
