Nodular Posterior Scleritis

Headaches and Blurry Vision

“…There are no confirmatory serologic tests for VKH, so a careful ophthalmic examination to exclude other causes of serous retinal detachments is important. While ultrasonography is helpful in cases of suspected posterior scleritis in identifying scleral thickening with adjacent echolucent edema in the Tenon's space (T sign), the absence of globe pain and episcleral injection in this case precludes that diagnosis . Uveal effusion syndrome may also present with serous retinal detachment and a mild vitreous cellular reaction in either a nanophthalmic or normal-length eye.…”

In these cases, the creation of scleral windows to decompress the vortex veins can lead to resolution.…”

Nodular Posterior Scleritis Mimicking Choroidal Tumor in a Patient With Systemic Lupus Erythematous

“…[5][6][7][8][9][10][11] One patient received topical steroids and multiple periocular triamcinolone (40 mg/mL) injections. 3 The response was good, with complete disappearance of the fundal mass and improvement in symptoms.…”

Multimodal imaging of nodular posterior scleritis: Case report and review of the literature

“…While disc swelling was a common sign of diffuse posterior scleritis, it was only reported in two nodular posterior scleritis cases. [ 6 7 ] The differential diagnosis of amelanotic subretinal mass includes amelanotic melanoma, choroidal granuloma, choroidal hemangioma, and choroidal osteoma. [ 8 ] Clinical features used to distinguish nodular posterior scleritis from choroidal melanoma include the presence of pain, conjunctival injection, chemosis, limited extraocular motility, and choroidal folds.…”
