From: Botulinum toxin-induced acute anterior uveitis in a patient with Behçet’s disease under infliximab treatment: a case report

Fig. 1

Ultra-widefield, high-resolution digital images, spectral domain optical coherence tomography (vertical section), and average aqueous flare values measured with laser flare meters for right eye. Before the botulinum toxin injections, the patient’s ocular condition was stable with no active uveitis at a routinely scheduled eye examination. Vitreous haze was graded as trace [7]. Two days later, he received botulinum toxin injections to treat axillary hyperhidrosis. Four days after botulinum toxin injections his right eye showed severe anterior vitreous opacity that was silhouetted against the retina, with elevated aqueous flare in anterior chamber. Vitreous haze was graded as 2+. No abnormal change was found in the retina. He received his regularly scheduled infliximab injection on the same day. One month after infliximab injection the right acute uveitis had attenuated considerably. Vitreous haze was graded as trace. Spectral domain optical coherence tomography did not detect macular edema after the acute uveitis, but severe vitreous opacity was clearly indicated by the cloudy image obtained 4 days after botulinum toxin injections. All the whitish lesions in the digital images are artifacts. LF aqueous flare value measured with laser flare meter in photon counts per millisecond (pc/ms)
