Retinal pigment epithelial detachments in posterior scleritis. 1980

B Berger, and F Reeser

A 12-year-old girl developed posterior scleritis and many detachments of the retinal pigment epithelium. Computed axial tomographic findings, reported in posterior scleritis for the first time, disclosed thickening of the posterior sclera. Computed axial tomography appears to be a sensitive test for the diagnosis of posterior scleritis.

D012163 Retinal Detachment Separation of the inner layers of the retina (neural retina) from the pigment epithelium. Retinal detachment occurs more commonly in men than in women, in eyes with degenerative myopia, in aging and in aphakia. It may occur after an uncomplicated cataract extraction, but it is seen more often if vitreous humor has been lost during surgery.

D012590 Sclera The white, opaque, fibrous, outer tunic of the eyeball, covering it entirely excepting the segment covered anteriorly by the cornea. It is essentially avascular but contains apertures for vessels, lymphatics, and nerves. It receives the tendons of insertion of the extraocular muscles and at the corneoscleral junction contains the CANAL OF SCHLEMM.
