Abstract Medical records of 51 patients with a diagnosis of pars planitis (97 eyes) were reviewed. Based upon the severity of vitreous inflammation, in 34 eyes (35) the condition was classified as mild, in 38 (39) as moderate, and in 25 eyes (26) as severe. Vascular sheathing was present in 51 eyes (53), snowballs in 42 (43), snowbanks in 29 (30), cataract in 19 (20), cystoid macular edema in 26 (27), retinal detachment in 4 (4) and glaucoma in 3 (3) eyes. Treatment consisted of prednisone and periocular injections of deposteroids or immunosuppressive agents; 13 patients required surgery for retinal repair, glaucoma, vitreous opacities or cataract. After treatment the visual acuity improved in 58 of the eyes, did not change in 33, and worsened in 9.
