“…One case report was not included as it was in French. [8] There are paucity of literature on tuberculous posterior scleritis. [79] However, these data should be interpreted with caution as in many of these studies are from non-endemic populations for tuberculosis and often diagnostic evaluation for tuberculosis was not extensive.…”

A 47-year-old female presented with optic disc oedema, peripapillary subretinal fluid and scattered areas of choroiditis. Her ultrasound B-scan showed sclerochoroidal thickening with widening of sub-Tenon space. Subsequent investigations revealed a positive Mantoux test and high-resolution computed tomography of the chest was suggestive of pulmonary involvement. She responded well to antitubercular treatment and systemic corticosteroid. A review of the literature was conducted to identify additional reports on similar cases and discussed. A high index of suspicion and appropriate laboratory work-up can aid in the diagnosis of tuberculous posterior scleritis.

A 63-year-old woman came with complaints of decreased vision and minimal pain on extraocular movements in the left eye and, after investigations, was diagnosed with posterior scleritis. Systemic steroid treatment helped resolve the symptoms and signs. One year later, she presented with right eye involvement. She was evaluated for systemic illness and, based on clinical and investigational findings, it was deduced that probably a sarcoidosis was predisposing her to the eye problem. She was provisionally diagnosed with bilateral sequential posterior scleritis secondary to sarcoidosis. She was prescribed oral steroids, which helped resolve her eye problem. She was next referred to a rheumatologist and a pulmonologist for further evaluation and treatment.

Bilateral posterior scleritis after sequential bilateral cataract surgery: a case report

Background Posterior scleritis is a rare, inflammatory ophthalmic disease, leading to severe visual impairment if untreated. Posterior scleritis occurring after surgery, unrelated to systemic inflammatory diseases, is even rarer. This report discusses a case of bilateral posterior scleritis, after cataract surgery in both the eyes, treated with high-dose steroids. Case presentation A 55-year-old man, who had undergone bilateral sequential cataract surgery one week before, presented with sudden loss of vision and ocular pain in both eyes. The patient had no systemic diseases or neurological symptoms. Serous retinal detachment of the macula with optic disc swelling was observed on fundus examination in both the eyes, and bilateral thickening of choroid and sclera was seen in ultrasonography. Under diagnosis of bilateral posterior scleritis due to the increased signal of sclera in both the eyes on magnetic resonance imaging, high-dose steroid therapy was performed. After treatment, improvement in visual acuity and retinal detachment were observed, and thereafter, it has been maintained without relapse. Conclusions With high-dose steroid therapy, we successfully treated a rare case of bilateral posterior scleritis following cataract surgery in both eyes. To our knowledge, this is the first report on posterior scleritis occurring after surgery, unrelated to systemic inflammatory diseases.
