Bilateral Posterior Scleritis Associated with Giant Cell Arteritis: A Case Report.
AIM: To report a case of bilateral posterior scleritis associated with giant cell arteritis Case Report: A 62-year-old female patient presented with bilateral progressive vision loss was diagnosed with bilateral posterior scleritis. According to clinical signs and symptoms and laboratory testing, Giant cell arteritis was also diagnosed. Within 8 weeks of the corticosteroid treatment, the serous retinal detachments completely resolved and choroidal thickness decreased in both eyes. Visual acuity increased, and the symtoms related to Giant cell arteritis improved.
CONCLUSION: Posterior scleritis is an inflammatory disease that may be associated with many autoimmune systemic diseases. GCA should be thought of particularly in patients over the age of 50 with bilateral involvement, and a relevant detailed history should be obtained for early and correct diagnosis and treatment.
