Episcleritis is rare in children, particularly under age five. Older children with episcleritis often have associated rheumatologic diseases, highlighting the need for systemic evaluation.

Area of Science:

  • Ophthalmology
  • Pediatrics
  • Rheumatology

Background:

  • Episcleritis, inflammation of the episclera, is uncommon in pediatric populations.
  • Understanding its characteristics and associations is crucial for diagnosis and management.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To characterize childhood episcleritis.
  • To identify associations with systemic diseases in affected children.

Main Methods:

  • Retrospective observational case series.
  • Review of 12 children diagnosed with episcleritis between 1981 and 1998.
  • Inclusion of complete ocular and systemic evaluations.

Main Results:

  • The study included 12 children (10 boys, 2 girls) aged 13 months to 16 years.

  • Six of nine children over five years old had rheumatologic conditions including lupus, juvenile rheumatoid arthritis, and inflammatory bowel disease.
  • Children under five had simple episcleritis and antecedent viral illness.

    • Conclusions:

    • Episcleritis is rare in childhood, especially in those under five.
    • Older children with episcleritis frequently present with underlying rheumatologic diseases.
