The inflammation of uveal tract.

1) Anterior Uveitis Inflammation of iris and

anterior part of ciliary body.
2) Intermediate Uveitis Involvement of posterior
part of ciliary body and extreme periphery of
retina. (Pars planitis)
3) Posterior uveitis Retinochoroiditis, choroiditis,
retinitis, chorioretinitis
4) Diffuse or pan uveitis Involvement of entire
uveal tract

Granulomatous Uveitis
- epithelioid and giant cells,
lymphocytes
- infectious : TBC, syphilis
Non-granulomatous Uveitis
- lymphocytes and plasma cells
- autoimmune disease : JRA, Behcet

Inflammatory cells stick to

endothelial layer as cellular
deposits .
SIGN Keratic precipitates non
granulomatous

In very intense cases, polymorphs pour

out to sink to bottom of anterior
chamber
SIGN Hypopyon

Collection of aqueous behind iris since

aqueous drainage is hampered.
Iris is hence bowed forwards like sail.
SIGN Iris Bombe (anterior chamber
is funnel shaped i.e. deepest in
centre, shallowest at periphery)
