The aim is to report a case of multiple sclerosis with a significant reduction in visual acuity in a 37 young male has a longstanding
history of blurred vision in his both eyes and a history of neurological problems. On his examination, his visual
acuity has been deteriorated to less than 6/36, moderate anterior uveitis and severe vitritis in both eyes. There is also bilateral
severe cystoid macular edema in both eyes and fibrosis caused traction on the retina. MRI showed multiple sclerosis. The patient
has been treated by oral steroid and gained significant improvement in his sight. In conclusion, intermediate uveitis in young
adults might be the presenting sign of multiple seclerosis.
