[A NEW MULTIPLE SCLEROSIS DIAGNOSIS IN A PATIENT WITH INTERMEDIATE UVEITIS].
A patient with intermediate uveitis was diagnosed with multiple sclerosis 9 years later.
[A NEW MULTIPLE SCLEROSIS DIAGNOSIS IN A PATIENT WITH INTERMEDIATE UVEITIS].
Uveitis is a group of about 30 intra-ocular inflammatory diseases; multiple sclerosis (multiple sclerosis) is an immune-mediated chronic inflammatory disease of the central nervous system (central nervous system).
Intermediate uveitis has been reported to be the most common type of uveitis in association with multiple sclerosis.
The mechanism associating multiple sclerosis and uveitis is not clear, but previous data suggest a genetic predisposition may play a role.
This observation may be attributed to early immunomodulatory treatment given to those patients to treat uveitis.
We describe a female patient who was diagnosed with intermediate uveitis that was defined as undifferentiated; 9 years later, she was diagnosed with relapsing-remitting multiple sclerosis.
