Unusual presentation of posterior scleritis
Journal Title: International Journal of Medical Research & Health Sciences (IJMRHS) - Year 2016, Vol 5, Issue 2
Abstract
Posterior Scleritis presents with serous retinal detachment, choroidal folds or both. We are presenting a female patient who showed signs of Neuroretinitis in fundus during early stages. A routine B-scan was done which revealed Positive T-sign suggestive of Posterior Scleritis. The patient was started on I.V steroids and had a drastic improvement in her vision. This case demonstrates the importance of B-scan as a routine investigation in evaluation of the optic nerve and retinal inflammations even in clear media. At later stages the patient presented with a lesion mimicking choroidal melanoma. This case is presented for its rarity.
