Chorioidoiritis

/ˌkɔːrioʊˌɪdoʊaɪˈraɪtɪs/ noun

Definition

Inflammation affecting both the choroid and the iris of the eye, often occurring together in certain infection or autoimmune conditions.

Etymology

From chorioid + iris + -itis (inflammation), describing concurrent inflammation of two distinct eye structures.

Kelly Says

Chorioidoiritis reveals how interconnected your eye is—inflammation in the back (choroid) can affect the front (iris), which is why eye doctors examine your entire eye even when you complain about one symptom!
