Along with moniliform blepharosis as a pathognomonic feature of the disease, an ophthalmologist may encounter other manifestations of UWS in any part of the eye such as cornea; conjunctiva; sclera; trabecular meshwork; iris\/pupil; lens and zonular fibers; retina; nasolacrimal duct. This paper provides a review on the pathogenesis and the diverse ocular manifestations seen in UWS patients. Uncommon complications are discussed in this paper (glaucoma; dry eye and epiphora; complications of lens, retina, cornea; iris\/pupil and conjunctiva). Moreover, a 27-year-old male UWS patient is described with bilateral diffuse anterior stromal iris atrophy, diffuse keratic precipitates; posterior subcapsular cataract; 1 + vitreous cell in anterior vitreous examination. This case was thought to be the first instance of bilateral uveitis associated with UWS. Overall, ophthalmologists may encounter diverse ocular complications accompanying this syndrome. They should be familiar with well-established ophthalmologic manifestations leading them to cooperate with other specialists in diagnosis and management of the disease.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.1155\/2012\/281516","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2012,7,31]],"date-time":"2012-07-31T21:01:00Z","timestamp":1343768460000},"page":"1-7","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":14,"title":["Urbach-Wiethe Syndrome and the Ophthalmologist: Review of the Literature and Introduction of the First Instance of Bilateral Uveitis"],"prefix":"10.1155","volume":"2012","author":[{"given":"Seyed-Mojtaba","family":"Abtahi","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"Faculty of Medicine, Isfahan University of Medical Sciences, Isfahan, Iran"},{"name":"Department of Otolaryngology, Faculty of Medicine, Isfahan University of Medical Sciences, Isfahan, Iran"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Farzan","family":"Kianersi","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Faculty of Medicine, Isfahan University of Medical Sciences, Isfahan, Iran"},{"name":"Isfahan Eye Research Center (IERC), Feiz Hospital, Isfahan University of Medical sciences, Isfahan, Iran"},{"name":"Ophthalmology Ward, Feiz Hospital, Isfahan University of Medical Sciences, Isfahan, Iran"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Mohammad-Ali","family":"Abtahi","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Faculty of Medicine, Isfahan University of Medical Sciences, Isfahan, Iran"},{"name":"Isfahan Eye Research Center (IERC), Feiz Hospital, Isfahan University of Medical sciences, Isfahan, Iran"},{"name":"Ophthalmology Ward, Feiz Hospital, Isfahan University of Medical Sciences, Isfahan, Iran"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Seyed-Hossein","family":"Abtahi","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Faculty of Medicine, Isfahan University of Medical Sciences, Isfahan, Iran"},{"name":"Isfahan Eye Research Center (IERC), Feiz Hospital, Isfahan University of Medical sciences, Isfahan, Iran"},{"name":"Ophthalmology Ward, Feiz Hospital, Isfahan University of Medical Sciences, Isfahan, Iran"},{"name":"Medical Student's Research Center, Isfahan University of Medical Sciences, Isfahan, Iran"},{"name":"S.H.A.
