Özet

Intermediate uveitis is a relatively common form of intraocular inflammation that can be seen at any age. The vitreous is the primary site of inflammation; and the presence of snowballs or snowbank defines its subtype, pars planitis. Since it is a clinical diagnosis, it is important to recognize the typical clinical features and associated ocular complications. Recent advances in ocular imaging have made significant contributions to the clinical appraisal and studies of intermediate uveitis. This narrative review includes clinical signs, ocular complications, and ocular imaging of intermediate uveitis and pars planitis.
