Inflammation of both the choroid layer and the ciliary body of the eye, a type of posterior uveitis affecting both structures simultaneously.
From 'choroid' plus 'cyclitis' (inflammation of the ciliary body), combining two anatomical terms with the suffix '-itis.' This compound medical term describes a specific pattern of eye inflammation.
