Comparison of the most common clinical manifestations of PVRL and uveitis
| . | PVRL . | Uveitis . |
|---|---|---|
| Ocular injection | No | Yes |
| Anterior chamber inflammation | Quiet anterior chamber | Flare or cells |
| Keratic precipitates | No or some cellular gray diffuse keratic precipitates | Yes (granulomatous or not) |
| Synechia | No | Possible |
| Vitreous | Cellular | Cellular and albuminous |
| Retina | Subretinal or retinal infiltration | Vasculitis, retinal necrosis, subretinal fluid, macular edema |
| Choroid | No infiltration* | Possible infiltration (granuloma) |
| OCT | Subretinal deposits | Macular edema, subretinal fluid |
| Fluorescein angiography | Hypofluorescent spots (active lesions), window defects (scar), retinal pigmented epithelium disturbances corresponding to a leopard skin pattern | Papillitis, vasculitis, cystoid macular edema, inflammatory capillaropathy, hypo- or hyperfluorescent lesions, subretinal fluid, pinpoint |

Lymphomatous infiltration of the choroid is suggestive of primary choroidal lymphoma (mainly mucosa-associated lymphoid tissue lymphoma) or secondary choroidal involvement of systemic lymphoma.2
