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.
