Abstract :

Uveitis Masquerade syndrome comprises a group of disorders simulating a chronic idiopathic uveitis with an underlying primary cause. This article reviews both benign and malignant conditions that mimic as uveitis. Though uveitis masquerade syndromes are generally uncommon constituting less than 3%of patients in uveitis referral clinics and well under 1% of patients with uveitis seen in general ophthalmology, their recognition is essential for proper management and in some instances may be life saving.
