Overview
There are no diagnostic MRI findings associated with uveitis. The presence of certain MRI findings, in the presence of uveitis, may be suggestive of specific underlying causes such as sarcoidosis, multiple sclerosis, Behcet's disease, syphilis, joint abnormalities in seronegative spondyloarthropathies, and CNS manifestations of HIV.
