Abstract
ZURUTUZA, A.; ANDONEGUI, J.; BERASTEGUI, L. and ARRUTI, N.. Bilateral posterior scleritis. Anales Sis San Navarra [online]. 2011, vol.34, n.2, pp.311-315. ISSN 1137-6627. https://dx.doi.org/10.4321/S1137-66272011000200019.
Posterior scleritis is an inflammatory process of the posterior part of the sclera. Its prevalence is very low and its diagnosis can be complicated due to the absence of external ocular signs. It is more frequent in women. In young patients it does not usually have other associated pathologies, but in those over 55 years nearly one-third of the cases have a relation with some systemic disease, above all rheumatoid arthritis. The diagnosis of this pathology can require a multidisciplinary approach and the collaboration of ophthalmologists with neurologists, internists or rheumatologists. This article describes a case of idiopathic bilateral posterior scleritis.
