Posterior scleritis presents with varied symptoms like pain and vision loss. Prompt diagnosis using B-scan ultrasonography and treatment with anti-inflammatory drugs lead to good outcomes.

Area of Science:

  • Ophthalmology
  • Rheumatology

Background:

  • Posterior scleritis is an uncommon inflammatory eye condition.
  • It can present with diverse clinical features, making diagnosis challenging.

Observation:

  • Six patients with posterior scleritis were studied.
  • Presenting symptoms included ocular pain and decreased vision.
  • Ophthalmic examination revealed chorioretinal folds, optic disc edema, and serous retinal detachment.

Findings:

  • B-scan ultrasonography identified sclerochoroidal thickening in all cases.
  • Systemic evaluation was mostly unremarkable, with one case of Behçet's disease.
  • All patients responded well to medical management, including systemic anti-inflammatory therapy.

Implications:

  • Posterior scleritis should be considered in unexplained inflammatory ocular disorders.
  • B-scan ultrasonography is crucial for diagnosis.
  • Systemic anti-inflammatory treatment is generally effective.
