Abstract

IGLESIAS MARTIN, J.  and  DIAZ RODRIGUEZ, E.. Usefulness of optical coherence tomography in the treatment and monitoring of posterior scleritis: Report of a case. Arch Soc Esp Oftalmol [online]. 2012, vol.87, n.5, pp.145-148. ISSN 0365-6691.

Case report: We describe the findings on optical coherence tomography before and after treatment with corticosteroids in a 51 year old patient with recurrent episodes of bilateral posterior scleritis without associated systemic disease. Discussion: We believe that optical coherence tomography allows the pathological changes that occur in posterior scleritis to be monitored by objective and quantitative comparison of images, and even for therapeutic decisions.

Keywords : Optical coherence tomography; Posterior scleritis.
