| uveitis, anterior | 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. (12 Dec 1998) |
| uveitis, intermediate | Inflammation of the pars plana, ciliary body, and adjacent structures. (12 Dec 1998) |
| uveitis, posterior | 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. (12 Dec 1998) |
| uveitis, suppurative | 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 meningococcaemia. (12 Dec 1998) |
| Forster's uveitis | Syphilitic inflammation, with diffuse nodules involving the choroid and retinal vasculitis. (05 Mar 2000) |
