Area of Science:

Ophthalmology
Immunology

Background:

Nodular posterior scleritis (NPS) is an uncommon inflammatory eye disease.
Accurate differentiation from other intraocular pathologies is crucial to prevent misdiagnosis and inappropriate treatment.

Observation:

This case report details the diagnostic process and management of NPS.
Multimodal imaging played a key role in confirming the diagnosis.

Findings:

The patient diagnosed with nodular posterior scleritis (NPS) showed a complete resolution following corticosteroid therapy.
Early and accurate diagnosis is essential for effective management.

Implications:

This case highlights the importance of multimodal imaging in diagnosing rare conditions like NPS.
Corticosteroid therapy is an effective treatment option for nodular posterior scleritis.
Preventing misdiagnosis of NPS can avert potentially irreversible vision damage.
