چکیده
Anterior uveitis or iridocyclitis is inflammation of the iris and ciliary body. This is the second most common ocular disease in cats, with FHV-1 related disease being number one. Many systemic diseases will first manifest as an anterior uveitis and the prognosis for not only the eyes but for the life of the animal may depend on identifying the systemic disease. Since few cats die as adults from complications of FHV-1 or become irreversibly blind from the disease; you could view anterior uveitis as the most serious ocular disease in cats. Lymphoplasmacytic anterior uveitis is the most common cause of secondary glaucoma. Many etiologies of anterior uveitis also have zoonotic potential. These last two facts make it imperative that early diagnosis, etiology and treatment protocol be obtained.
