title: [Uveitis].
abstract: Uveitis is an encompassing term for intraocular inflammation. Particularly heterogeneous presentations may be observed. Uveitis may belong to the manifestations of a general disease or may affect only the eye. Causes of uveitis are inflammatory or infectious. Finding the cause of uveitis is based on analyzing the ocular phenotype and extraocular manifestations when present. The main factor for the prognosis of uveitis is its consequences on the macula. The treatment of uveitis is based on its cause and on its severity.
