| Core Tip |
Bilateral scleritis is the rarest form of scleritis. The clinical presentation is quite variable, which can make diagnosis even more difficult. Among all cases of scleritis, the overall frequency of intraocular hypertension is low, at only 12.6%. Moreover, among that subpopulation of scleritis cases, bilateral involvement with shallow anterior chamber is often misdiagnosed as uveitis (especially, Vogt-Koyanagi-Harada syndrome) and acute primary angle-closure glaucoma. Differential diagnosis is essential for accurate and effective treatment. We report here a case of bilateral posterior scleritis with acute eye pain and intraocular hypertension, initially misdiagnosed as acute primary angel closure. |
