Masquerade syndromes mimic inflammatory eye conditions, leading to misdiagnosis. Multimodal imaging is crucial for accurate diagnosis and management of these challenging cases.

Area of Science:

  • Ophthalmology
  • Medical Imaging

Background:

  • Masquerade syndromes present with inflammatory signs and chronic symptoms unresponsive to treatment.
  • These conditions are often misdiagnosed as refractory inflammatory disorders, delaying proper care.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To review commonly encountered masquerade syndromes.
  • To discuss the role of multimodal imaging in diagnosing and managing these complex cases.

Main Methods:

  • Literature review of masquerade syndromes.
  • Analysis of conventional and emerging imaging techniques.
  • Case presentations illustrating multimodal imaging utility.

Main Results:

  • Masquerade syndromes pose diagnostic challenges in uveitis clinics.
Keywords:

  • Multimodal imaging aids in identifying the underlying etiology of these syndromes.

    • Conclusions:

    • Accurate diagnosis of masquerade syndromes is essential for effective treatment.
    • Multimodal imaging plays a vital role in unraveling complex ocular presentations.
