چکیده
Necrogranulomatous scleritis (scleromalacia perforans) may be associated with rheumatoid arthritis (rheumatoid nodule of the sclera), with the necrotizing vasculitis group of diseases, or confined to the eye without overt evidence of associated systemic disease (Sevel, i965, i966, I967, i968a,b). The purpose of this paper is to review the clinical features of a further case of necrogranulomatous scleritis in the light of its present treatment. The value of a scleral onlay graft is described with special emphasis on its histology.
