Sub-Tenon's fluid on OCT strongly agrees with ultrasound sign of posterior scleritis.

Purpose

This study describes enhanced depth imaging optical coherence tomography (enhanced depth imaging optical coherence tomography) features of posterior scleritis in myopic eyes and evaluates the diagnostic value of sub-Tenon's fluid on enhanced depth imaging optical coherence tomography.

Methods

Retrospective single-centre case series at tertiary eye unit, Moorfields Eye Hospital, UK.

Results

OCT fluid finding matched the ultrasound scleritis sign in most eyes

More results

Mean age at presentation was 55 years (range 24-70), 56% female patients and mean refractive error - 4.45D.

Mean presenting BCVA was 6/12, improving to 6/9 after treatment (p = 0.009).

Presenting symptoms included ocular pain (80% eyes), blurred vision (50%), optic disc swelling sign (40%).

More results

Mean sub-foveal choroidal thickness was 307 μm and was not correlated with refractive error.

“
Conclusion

Sub-Tenon's fluid on enhanced depth imaging optical coherence tomography may represent a useful biomarker for posterior scleritis in myopic eyes and a non-invasive adjunct for diagnosis and monitoring.
