Abstract

A12-year-old male presented with painful diminution of vision in the right eye of 10 day’s duration. The visual acuity was 0.2 in the right eye and 1.0 in the left eye. The right eye had signs of mild anterior uveitis with 3+ of cells in the anterior chamber. On fundus examination, there was disc edema in the posterior pole. A orbital magnetic resonance imaging and B-scan ultrasonography showed posterior scleral thickening and muscles enlargament. The diagnosis of posterior scleritis associated with orbital myositis was made. Systemic corticosteroids was given and the patient's symptoms and signs improved. Scleritis with uveitis, although rare in children, should be recognised as part of the differential diagnosis of acute paediatric orbital inflammation.

Özet

Oniki yaşındaki erkek hasta sağ gözde 10 gün önce başlayan ağrı ve görme azalması şikayeti ile başvurdu. Görme keskinliği sağ gözde 0,2 sol gözde ise tam idi. Sağ göz ön kamarada 3+ hücre, fundus muayenesinde ise optik disk ödemi izlendi. B-mod ultrasonografi ve manyetik rezonans görüntülemede arka sklera kalınlaşması ve kaslarda genişleme saptandı. Orbita miyoziti ile birlikte arka sklerit tanısı kondu. Sistemik steroid başlandı ve hastanın kliniğinde düzelme görüldü. Nadir görülse de çocuk olgularda sklerit ve üveitin pediatrik orbita enflamasyonu ile ayırıcı tanısı dikkatli yapılmalıdır.
