Bilateral necrotizing scleritis following strabismus surgery in elderly female

Abstract

Surgically induced necrotizing scleritis (SINS) is a rapidly progressive scleral inflammation that occurs after various ocular surgeries and can lead to blindness if not appropriately treated. However, there have been only 10 other case reports of necrotizing scleritis after strabismus surgery. Here we present a case of bilateral necrotizing scleritis post strabismus surgery that was successfully treated with scleral gluing and high dose steroid therapy and later transitioned to long-term immunosuppression.
