AB 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.
