Multiple sclerosis associated intermediate uveitis – http://id.who.int/icd/entity/623056240

This is a form of uveitis localised to the vitreous and peripheral retina. Primary sites of inflammation include the vitreous of which other such entities as pars planitis, posterior cyclitis, and hyalitis are encompassed. Intermediate uveitis may either be an isolated eye disease or associated with the development of a systemic disease such as multiple sclerosis or sarcoidosis. This diagnosis is associated with an inflammatory disease in which the insulating covers of nerve cells in the brain and spinal cord are damaged.
