Abstract

Uveitis and neuro-ophthalmic manifestations may indicate an underlying systemic and/or neurologic condition. A systematic approach to patients in the form of comprehensive anamnesis and thorough ocular and physical examination helps to reveal an undiagnosed condition or an evolving illness. Prompt diagnosis is of utmost importance in such cases because of potential sight-threatening and life-threatening nature of such conditions. Both subspecialties of neuro-ophthalmology and uveitis require, in many instances, a multidisciplinary approach, as emphasized in this special issue.
