title: [Spectral domain OCT in patients with unclear uveitis].
abstract: Presented here are two cases of patients with unclear visual loss. A diagnostic assessment with spectral domain optical coherence tomography (Sd-OCT), fluorescein angiography (FLA) and blood analyses was performed due to vitreous clouding. Characteristic FLA findings for papillitis and vasculitis and as yet undescribed morphological Sd-OCT changes in the photoreceptor layer and in the pigment epithelium were found. During the treatment of the diagnosed lues these changes were resolved. The Sd-OCT technique seems to be a useful and effective diagnostic tool for uveitis diagnostics.
