摘要

Inflammatory changes in the retinal vessels can be attributed to a wide range of etiologies. These include infections, intraocular and systemic autoimmune processes, general diseases and iatrogenic factors. As the endothelium of the retinal capillaries forms the inner blood-retinal barrier, a disruption of this structure is directly associated with consequences for the fluid electrolyte balance of the retina. Clinical sequelae can include leakage of the retinal vessels and macular edema, which are often functionally threatening and significantly reduce the quality of life of patients. As the eye can be affected as an “index organ”, a work-up of the patient by the ophthalmologist is of great importance. In the age of “precision medicine”, efforts are being made to gain new insights into the pathogenetic mechanisms of vasculitis through “omics” in order to develop innovative treatment concepts.
