| Summary: |
Multiple sclerosis (MS) is
a chronic inflammatory demyelinating disease of the
central nervous system. It is typically first
manifestation in young adults between 20 and 40 years of
age. Although optic neuritis is considered to be the
most frequent ocular manifestation of multiple sclerosis,
the significant number of MS patients has intermediate
uveitis. Incidence of this uveitis in patients with
multiple sclerosis varied from 3% to 28%. This
similarity between multiple sclerosis and intermediate
uveitis is the association of both with the major
histocompatibility complex gene HLA-DR2.
This case study describes one such patients with
intermediate uveitis, which is one of the sclerosis
multiplex manifestations. |
