Uveitis is an inflammatory process in the uvea, consisted of iris, ciliary body, and choroid. Four anatomical types of uveitis include anterior uveitis, intermediate uveitis, posterior uveitis and panuveitis. Posterior uveitis is the inflammation of the choroidal layer and surrounding structures in the posterior eye. This disorder is considered rare, but most commonly related to ocular complications, such as blindness. Diagnosis requires a comprehensive approach because of its complex and multifactorial nature. Appropriate management is important. Causal reatment can prevent the worsening and more severe complications.
