Case Presentation
A 24-year-old woman presented to our clinic as a new patient with complaints of floaters and photopsia in both eyes, more pronounced in the right eye. Her past medical and surgical history was unremarkable for systemic or ocular disease. During the review of systems, she reported numbness and tingling in both her hands and feet. The best-corrected visual acuity was 20/80 in the right eye and 20/25 in the left eye. On examination, vitreous cells (snowballs) and snowbanking were detected in both eyes. Laboratory tests were negative or within normal limits except for positive HLA-DR15. Brain MRI demonstrated hyperintense foci suggestive of multiple sclerosis. The patient was diagnosed with intermediate uveitis in the setting of multiple sclerosis. The patient was treated with ocrelizumab, a humanized anti-CD20 monoclonal antibody used for the treatment of multiple sclerosis, which induced remission of her intermediate uveitis.
