Calcification at the posterior pole in scleritis. A case report

Int Ophthalmol. 1996;20(5):285-7. doi: 10.1007/BF00131925.

Abstract

We report a case with unilateral recurrent anterior scleritis which developed sclerochoroidal calcification at the posterior pole without any overt sign of posterior scleritis during the follow-up period of nine years. We believe that subtle posterior scleral inflammation might lead to sclerochoroidal calcification which might be dystrophic in nature.
