posterior uveitis

posterior uveitis,

uveitis involving the posterior segment of the eye, including choroiditis and chorioretinitis.

uveitis

inflammation of the uvea.

anterior uveitis

inflammation of the anterior uveal tract, i.e. iridocyclitis. Signs include pain, blepharospasm, tearing, conjunctivitis, constricted pupil, reduced intraocular pressure, aqueous flare, and sometimes keratic precipitates and hypopyon.

endogenous uveitis

arising from causes within the body.

equine recurrent uveitis

see periodic ophthalmia.

exogenous uveitis

arising from causes external to the body.

granulomatous uveitis

associated with toxoplasmosis and systemic mycotic infections such as cryptococcosis, blastomycosis, coccidioidomycosis and candidiasis.

heterochromic uveitis

see heterochromic iridocyclitis.

lens-induced uveitis

caused by escape of lens protein into the aqueous, initiating an immune response.

phacolytic uveitis

associated with resorption of hypermature cataracts in which there is rupture of the lens capsule and release of lens proteins.

phacoclastic uveitis

caused by disruption of the anterior lens capsule and leakage of lens proteins.

posterior uveitis

inflammation of the ciliary body and choroid.

recurrent equine uveitis

see periodic ophthalmia.

sympathetic uveitis

see sympathetic ophthalmia.
