iridocyclitis
Inflammation of both iris and ciliary body. The ciliary body is almost always involved with an inflammation of the iris. The clinical picture of iridocyclitis is practically the same as iritis. The condition is often associated with ankylosing spondylitis or sarcoidosis. See anisocoria; rheumatoid arthritis; heterochromia; Behçet's syndrome; uveitis.
