中间葡萄膜炎发生在同卵双胞胎很少在文献中报道。我们报告了这种疾病在同卵双胞胎中的发生。双胞胎姐妹篇呈现中间葡萄膜炎的典型特征，其中一个姐妹篇早三年出现。术后均予曲安奈德筋膜下注射，恢复良好。系统评价和实验室检查未发现任何病因。细胞遗传学高分辨率分析未发现任何染色体异常。系谱分析显示没有特定的传播模式。家族三代中无其他成员有类似眼病。我们的报告指出，应采取详细的家族史在中间葡萄膜炎和检查其他同胞的中间葡萄膜炎患者应进行。
The occurrence of intermediate uveitis in monozygotic twins has rarely been reported in literature. We report the occurrence of this disease condition in identical twins. Twin sisters presented with typical features of intermediate uveitis, which appeared three years earlier in one of the sisters. They were treated with posterior subtenon injection of triamcinolone acetonide and recovered well. Systemic evaluation and laboratory investigations did not reveal any etiology. Cytogenetic high-resolution analysis did not reveal any chromosomal abnormalities. Pedigree analysis revealed no specific transmission pattern. No other family members in three generations had similar ocular disease. Our report indicates that a detailed family history should be taken in intermediate uveitis and examination of other siblings of patients with intermediate uveitis should be performed.
