Posterior scleritis mimicking orbital cellulitis

Recurrent Unilateral Vogt-Koyanagi-Harada Disease with Posterior Scleritis

“…Furthermore, posterior scleritis can be differentiated from orbital cellulitis based on complaints of lid swelling, erythema and eye pain in scleritis. Orbital cellulitis and posterior scleritis are both potentially life-threatening conditions that require urgent management [ 2 3 ].…”

Posterior scleritis mimicking orbital cellulitis

“…In the previous report of posterior scleritis mimicking orbital cellulitis, the authors hypothesised that inflammation had spread anteriorly, involving the upper lid structures, causing lid swelling and simulating cellulitis 1 …”

The role of Scheimpflug imaging in the management of posterior scleritis

“…The clinical features can be nonspecific, and confused with those of generalized intraocular or orbital inflammation. 1 Angle-closure glaucoma may occur in posterior scleritis, usually as a result of uveal effusion. 2,3 Scheimpflug imaging of the anterior segment is an accurate method of analysing the anterior segment of the eye, including the configuration of the angle and anterior chamber depth.…”
