Iridocyclitis

Iridocyclitis is a form of anterior uveitis characterized by concurrent inflammation of both the iris and the adjacent ciliary body in the eye Pathophysiologically, immune-mediated disruption of the blood-aqueous barrier leads to leukocyte extravasation and protein leakage into the anterior chamber

Iridocyclitis is a form of anterior uveitis characterized by concurrent inflammation of both the iris and the adjacent ciliary body in the eye

It primarily affects the anterior segment of the ocular system across pediatric and adult populations, occurring idiopathically or secondary to ocular trauma, systemic autoimmune diseases (such as HLA-B27–associated spondyloarthropathies), or local infections

Pathophysiologically, immune-mediated disruption of the blood-aqueous barrier leads to leukocyte extravasation and protein leakage into the anterior chamber

Clinically, it manifests with eye pain, ciliary injection, photophobia, and blurred vision, with hallmark examination findings including anterior chamber cells and flare, keratic precipitates, pupillary constriction, and the potential development of posterior synechiae
