Dr Nima's Eye Pod: Video Short: Dogmatic ideas in medicine and uveitis - from the Behçet's UK Q & A
Update: 2024-12-26
Description
Full Behçet's Uveitis Video here: https://youtu.be/KHlZ7aElCJU
Medicine, while grounded in evidence, has historically been shaped by traditions and assumptions that sometimes do not withstand scrutiny in light of new data, technologies, or even insights"You can't have XYZ in this disease".
Questioning entrenched beliefs encourages critical thinking and a willingness to adapt practices based on emerging evidence, and we need to keep fostering a culture that values curiosity and respectful debate to ensure that patient care remains dynamic, equitable, and responsive to the ever-evolving landscape of healthcare knowledge. Behcet's Uveitis tends to affect either the front of the eye (anterior uveitis) or the back (posterior uveitis). It tends not to cause intermediate uveitis - wherein inflammatory cells can be seen suspended within the vitreous.
These cells are appreciated similar to that of anterior chamber cells but with the slit lamp focused behind the lens. Larger inflammatory collections known as "snowballs" may also be identified within the vitreous. They aren't classically seen in Behçet's Disease but "never say never"... Isolated intermediate uveitis, albeit rare, can occur - (and more common in early rather than late disease)
