“…Autoimmune diseases, such as rheumatoid arthritis, granulomatosis with polyangiitis (GPA), relapsing polychondritis, SLE, and PsA, are the most commonly associated entities [7,9]. On the other hand, infectious causes are less common and are responsible for 5-10% of cases [10].…”

Objective: To present a rare case of necrotizing anterior scleritis with keratouveitis in a patient with psoriasis and to emphasize the importance of early recognition and aggressive systemic therapy to prevent its sequelae. Necrotizing anterior scleritis is a rare and severely debilitating condition in patients with psoriasis. We present the case of a 60-year-old man with a one-week onset of right eye redness, severe eye pain, and tenderness, accompanied by headache, photophobia, and foreign body sensation. The patient had a history of psoriasis for >20 years and was maintained on methotrexate and topical medications, with poor compliance. He was admitted two weeks prior due to COVID-19 infection. Examination of the right eye showed signs of anterior scleritis and kerato-uveitis. Autoimmune and infection screens yielded negative results. He was administered a regimen of topical cyclosporine BID, atropine TID, and oral prednisone at 1 mg/kg/day that was tapered accordingly after clinical response. Follow-up over the course of three weeks revealed decreased eye pain and improved visual acuity from 20/100 to 20/30 in the right eye. This case of necrotizing sclerotic sclerosis occurred in a setting of long-standing psoriasis and psoriatic arthritis with chronic methotrexate use and various environmental triggers. Early recognition and aggressive treatment with systemic and topical immunomodulators are required to prevent the sequelae of this disease.
