چکیده

scleritis is achieved through observation of sun set glow fundus and neurologic or dermatologic signs not seen in posterior scleritis. Posterior scleritis is also usually unilateral, and T-sign is a unique characteristic of this disease. Recently, there have been some reports, especially in Japan, of posterior scleritis appearing concurrently with VKH disease in patients; Kouda et al. [4] reported that posterior scleritis was an early manifestation of VKH. In our case, neurologic symptoms such as headache and tinnitus appeared as clinical features of VKH, while T-sign and lid swelling were signs of posterior scleritis. Anterior chamber reaction and serous retinal detachment were also observed in both VKH and posterior scleritis. Thus, we conclude that our case involved unilateral VKH disease with posterior scleritis.
