MeSH

Inflammation of part or all of the uvea, the middle (vascular) tunic of the eye, and commonly involving the other tunics (sclera and cornea, and the retina). (Dorland, 27th ed)

Inflammation of the pars plana, ciliary body, and adjacent structures.

Year introduced: 1990

Inflammation of the choroid as well as the retina and vitreous body. Some form of visual disturbance is usually present. The most important characteristics of posterior uveitis are vitreous opacities, choroiditis, and chorioretinitis.

Year introduced: 1990

Intraocular infection caused mainly by pus-producing bacteria and rarely by fungi. The infection may be caused by an injury or surgical wound (exogenous) or by endogenous septic emboli in such diseases as bacterial endocarditis or meningococcemia.

Year introduced: 1990

Inflammation of the anterior uvea comprising the iris, angle structures, and the ciliary body. Manifestations of this disorder include ciliary injection, exudation into the anterior chamber, iris changes, and adhesions between the iris and lens (posterior synechiae). Intraocular pressure may be increased or reduced.

Year introduced: 1986

A rare hereditary disorder with autosomal dominant inheritance that is characterized by SKIN RASH; ARTHRITIS; and UVEITIS. Onset is typically in children under four years of age. SYNOVITIS, anterior UVEITIS, adhesion of the IRIS to the CORNEA, and permanent bending of the fingers and toes (camptodactyly) may also occur. A mutation in the NOD2 gene has been identified. YAO SYNDROME is an allelic disorder to Blau Syndrome. OMIM: 186580

Date introduced: August 25, 2010

A rare disorder characterized by ANTERIOR UVEITIS, tubulointerstital nephritis or GLOMERULONEPHRITIS, circulating ANTIGEN-ANTIBODY COMPLEXES, and non-caseating GRANULOMAS in the bone marrow and lymph nodes. An association with certain HLA alleles has been observed, especially HLA-DRB1*0102. OMIM: 607665

Date introduced: August 25, 2010

Granulomatous uveitis which follows in one eye after a penetrating injury to the other eye; the secondarily affected eye is called the sympathizing eye, and the injured eye is called the exciting or activating eye.

A group of idiopathic multifocal posterior uveitis syndromes involving the CHOROID; RETINAL PIGMENT EPITHELIUM; and RETINA. They are characterized by multiple lesions of hypoautofluorescent dots in the FUNDUS OCULI and reduced VISUAL ACUITY. Several entities including BIRDSHOT CHORIORETINOPATHY are HLA-A ANTIGENS serotype A29 positive.
