FP957 : Neuroretinitis associated with Posterior Scleritis- A Diagnostic Dilemma

Dr.SWARNIMA BASU, B19097

A middle-aged female patient presented with unilateral decreased vision and clinical findings consistent with neuroretinitis. Based on fundus findings a presumptive diagnosis of Neuroretinitis was made . A thorough diagnostic evaluation for known causes of neuroretinitis was negative in this case. Ultrasonography and fluorescein angiography revealed findings consistent with a diagnosis of posterior scleritis. A revised clinical diagnosis of Neuroretinitis with posterior scleritis was made. In patients with Neuroretinitis of unknown etiology, posterior scleritis should be considered in the differential diagnosis.
