The administration of preparations into the vorticose vein in the combined therapy of severe forms of uveitis

1989 
The paper describes positive results after treatment of 15 patients with severe forms of uveitis by means of administering preparations into the portal vein of the eye. The method was substantiated by a series of experimental investigations. The treatment of patients with uveitis was prescribed when common therapy within a week and in some cases--a month after beginning of treatment proved to be ineffective. In 8 eyes with endogenous uveitis visual acuity rose from 0.06 +/- 0.4 at admission to 0.28 +/- 0.7 at discharge. In 4 patients with supposed enucleation of the eye the proposed method allowed to stop the inflammatory process. This method permitted to shorten the term of the patients stay at the hospital by 6.8 days. No complications during the treatment of recurrences in remote period were recorded.
