ぶどう膜炎
Sign in to saveAlso known as uveaitis, Uveitis, uvea inflammation
Uveitis () is inflammation of the uvea, the pigmented layer of the eye between the inner retina and the outer fibrous layer composed of the sclera and cornea. The uvea consists of the middle layer of pigmented vascular structures of the eye and includes the iris, ciliary body, and choroid. Uveitis is described anatomically, by the part of the eye affected, as anterior, intermediate or posterior, or panuveitic if all parts are involved. Anterior uveitis (iridocyclitis) is the most common, with the incidence of uveitis overall affecting approximately 1:4500, most commonly those between the ages

ぶどう膜炎（ぶどうまくえん、英: Uveitis）は、ぶどう膜（虹彩、毛様体、脈絡膜）に炎症を起こす疾患である。ぶどう膜炎自体は一つの疾患概念ではなく、様々な疾患の一つの表現形である。 充血、眼痛、比較的急激に視力障害をきたす。 またその原因は、全身疾患によっておこることが非常に多く、全身精査が必要なこともある。
