ABSTRACT.Purpose: To report a case of surgically induced necrotising sclerokeratitis (SINS) with imminent uveal prolapse following uncomplicated cataract surgery. Methods: Case report. Results: The causative agent was found to be a subtarsal abscess and the condition responded to drainage of the localised infection and a course of topical antibiotics. Conclusion: This report represents the first account of postoperative scleral necrosis arising from a subconjunctival abscess, and illustrates the importance of identifying all aetiopathogenic factors in cases of postsurgical necrotizing scleritis.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
