A RARE CASE OF UNILATERAL ANNULAR SCLERITIS PROGRESSING TO SCLERA – KERATO - UVEITIS
Journal Title: Journal of Evidence Based Medicine and Healthcare - Year 2016, Vol 3, Issue 15
Abstract
INTRODUCTION We agree to the fact that ocular trauma may lead to non-infectious uveitis with scleritis. Here, we report the case of a patient who developed unilateral annular scleritis as the complication of anterior scleritis following ocular trauma. The causes of inflammation including Infection and systemic inflammatory diseases were excluded. Hence, our findings suggest that ocular trauma may act as a trigger for scleritis. Annular scleritis is defined as a circum-corneal gelatinous brawny infiltration accompanying the sclerosing keratitis. This rare entity occurs usually after the age of sixty. The case here described was unilateral annular sclera-kerato-uveitis leading to diffuse scleritis.
