Exudative retinal detachment and posterior scleritis associated with massive scleral thickening and calcification treated by scleral decompression.

چکیده
A 66-year-old man presented with massive bilateral scleral thickening and calcification associated with a unilateral exudative retinal detachment which did not respond to systemic anti-inflammatory agents including steroids and cyclophosphamide but improved with scleral resection. This patient shows the features of both posterior scleritis and the uveal effusion syndrome, providing further evidence for the role of a thickened sclera and interference with the trans-scleral flow of fluid in the formation of such an exudative retinal detachment.

متن کاملScleral resection in chronic central serous chorioretinopathy complicated by exudative retinal detachment
BACKGROUND Effective therapeutic options are limited for the management of chronic central serous chorioretinopathy (CSCR) complicated by exudative retinal detachments (RD). The authors describe the resolution of one such case following partial thickness scleral resection with mitomycin C. CASE PRESENTATION This 39-year-old male presented with a unilateral inferior exudative RD in the right e...

Comment. Scleral inflammatory disease is a deep and destructive inflammation presumed to be incited by autoimmune system dysregulation and is often classified on the basis of the site of pathologic findings and severity of inflammation. Scleritis is characterized by edema and inflammatory cell infiltration of the sclera and is commonly associated with identifiable systemic disease and often wit...
