The purpose of this retrospective study was to correlate the signalment, history, clinical signs and ophthalmic findings of dogs with uveitis with the underlying etiology. We conducted a retrospective study of 102 dogs presented to the NCSU‐VTH from 1989 to 2000 with clinical signs of uveitis. Medical records of dogs presented for uveitis were reviewed. Dogs were included in the study only if a complete diagnostic work‐up database was collected, if sufficient follow‐up was documented, and if the uveitis was not secondary to trauma or a hypermature cataract. The mean age ± SD of all dogs in this study was 6.2 ± 3.6 years. There were 33 intact and 16 castrated males, and 14 intact and 27 neutered females. Fourteen breeds were represented, with the Golden Retriever (n = 14) most common. Fifty‐nine dogs (58%) were diagnosed with idiopathic/immune‐mediated uveitis, neoplasia was diagnosed in 25 dogs (24.5%) and 18 dogs (17.6%) were diagnosed with infectious causes of uveitis. Aqueous flare was the most common clinical sign, occurring in 88 dogs (86%). The most common infectious organisms associated with uveitis in the dogs of this study wereEhrlichia canis(n = 7). Lymphosarcoma (n = 17) was the most common neoplasm. In ≈ 60% of dogs presenting for uveitis an underlying cause was not found, and a diagnosis of immune‐mediated or idiopathic uveitis was made. However, ≈ 25% of dogs had ocular and/or systemic neoplasia (with 17% of cases having lymphosarcoma) and 18% with an underlying infectious cause for uveitis. Because of the high percentage of systemic disease associated with uveitis in dogs, extensive diagnostic testing is recommended before instituting symptomatic anti‐inflammatory therapy.}, number={2}, journal={VETERINARY OPHTHALMOLOGY}, author={Massa, KL and Gilger, BC and Miller, TL and Davidson, MG}, year={2002}, month={Jun}, pages={93–98} } @article{miller_willis_wilkie_hoshaw-woodard_stanley_2001, title={Description of ciliary body anatomy and identification of sites for transscleral cyclophotocoagulation in the equine eye}, volume={4}, ISSN={["1463-5224"]}, DOI={10.1046/j.1463-5216.2001.00147.x}, abstractNote={AbstractObjectiveTo determine the most appropriate anatomical location for diode laser probe placement to accurately photoablate the equine ciliary body using a contact, transscleral approach.DesignOriginal research.ProceduresForty‐two freshly enucleated adult equine eyes were evaluated. The horizontal, medial vertical, central vertical, and lateral vertical lengths of the cornea were measured from limbus to limbus. Needles were inserted perpendicular to the sclera at specific distances posterior to the external limbus at the 1, 2, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 10, 11 and 12 o’clock positions. The per cent frequency that needles penetrated internal anatomical regions (lens, lens zonules, pars plicata, anterior, middle, and posterior pars plana, ora ciliaris retinae, or retina), when inserted at 2, 4, 6, and 8 mm posterior to the limbus, were calculated for all eyes combined, for right vs. left, for males vs. females, and for three age groups. The internal distance from the limbus to the anterior pars plana, and from the anterior pars plana to the ora ciliaris retinae were also measured in six of the horses (12 eyes). Mean distances and standard deviations were computed for all parameters.ResultsAverage corneal sizes and standard deviations were: 30.24 mm ± 1.53 (horizontal); 24.69 mm ± 1.52 (central vertical); 22.79 mm ± 1.49 (medial vertical); and 19.79 mm ± 1.55 (lateral vertical). Internal distances of the pars plicatas ranged from 5.33 mm ± 0.49 to 10.67 mm ± 1.15. Internal distances of the pars planas ranged from 0.33 mm ± 0.49 to 3.17 mm ± 0.39. High probabilities of penetrating the pars plicata correspond to positions 4 mm posterior to the external limbus dorsotemporal 10, 11 o’clock (OD), and 1, 2 o’clock (OS), dorsonasal 1 o’clock (OD) and 11 o’clock (OS), and ventrotemporal 5–7 o’clock (OU). Low probabilities of penetrating the pars plicata correspond to positions ventronasal 4 o’clock (OD), 8 o’clock (OS) and dorsonasal 2 o’clock (OD), 10 o’clock (OS) at 4 and 6 mm posterior to the external limbus as well as ventrotemporal 4 o’clock (OS), 8 o’clock (OD) at 6 mm posterior to the external limbus.ConclusionsTransscleral cyclophotocoagulation may be a viable alternative to medical therapy for control of intraocular pressure in horses with glaucoma. Overall, the most accurate anatomical position on the sclera for cyclophotocoagulation of the equine eye is 4–6 mm posterior to the limbus, avoiding the nasal quadrants. Accurate transscleral cyclophotocoagulation should optimize the therapeutic outcome and minimize potential side‐effects such as retinal detachment and cataract formation.}, number={3}, journal={VETERINARY OPHTHALMOLOGY}, author={Miller, TL and Willis, AM and Wilkie, DA and Hoshaw-Woodard, S and Stanley, JRL}, year={2001}, month={Sep}, pages={183–190} }
