	'''Intermediate uveitis''' is a form of [[uveitis]] that primarily affects the [[vitreous body]] and the peripheral [[retina]]. It is characterized by inflammation of the [[pars plana]], the area between the [[ciliary body]] and the [[retina]]. This condition is also known as "pars planitis" when it occurs without an associated systemic disease.
