Alok Bahl, Lilla Smeller, Sohar Nicolette

The Ophthalmology department at the University of Szeged in Hungary is one of few tertiary centers in the country that takes on complicated cases of juvenile uveitis. Delayed initial presentation combined with confirmed systemic diseases makes cases more complicated to manage and treat. A thorough medical history is vital to help focus investigations. This therefore, involves a multidisciplinary team approach to the management of these complicated cases. Furthermore, good communication with families (parents) is key in establishing a strong bond and helps increase rates of compliance with medications especially in socio- economically challenged communities. This case provides an in-depth analysis of the management of juvenile uveitis.
