Uveitis masquerade syndromes: An approach to diagnosis

Abstract

Uveitis masquerade syndromes are a diverse group of clinical entities which mimic conventional immune‐mediated uveitis due to the presence of inflammatory signs but are resistant to anti‐inflammatory therapy. Misdiagnosis hinders appropriate management in these conditions and may result in poor outcomes. This review discusses commonly encountered neoplastic and non‐neoplastic disease processes that masquerade as intraocular inflammation with a focus on relevant clinical features and adjunctive investigations that are helpful in reaching a correct diagnosis.
