AI Article Synopsis
- The study analyzed records from 1,098 MS patients and 1,530 uveitis patients, aiming to find those with both conditions.
- A total of 28 patients (1%) were found to have "definite MS" along with uveitis, with 12 from the MS clinic and 16 from the uveitis clinic.
- The types of uveitis identified most frequently were pars planitis and panuveitis, and a significant finding was a 9-year average delay between the onset of neurological symptoms and ocular symptoms, highlighting the need for careful ongoing diagnosis.
Article Abstract
The authors reviewed records from consecutive patients in an MS clinic (n = 1,098) and in a uveitis clinic (n = 1,530) to select patients with "definite MS" and uveitis. A total of 28 of 2,628 patients (1%) were identified: 12 from the MS clinic (12 of 1,098; 1.1%) and 16 from the uveitis clinic (16 of 1,530; 1%). Pars planitis and panuveitis were most commonly encountered. The delay between the onset of neurologic and ocular symptoms (mean, 9 years) emphasizes the importance of a sequential diagnostic search throughout the patient's course.
