ABSTRACT
Posterior scleritis,an inflammatory disease of the posterior sclera,is most commonly seen in middle-aged women and often associated with systemic immunological diseases.It presents with a variety of nonspecific signs and symptoms,and its clinical feature may be confused with ocular tumors,orbital inflammation,and retinochoroidopathy.Therefore,some auxiliary examinations are necessary for the diagnosis of posterior scleritis.With early proper diagnosis and treatment,severe complications of posterior scleritis can be avoided or lessened.In the paper,some advancement in the study of etiology,incidence,signs,symptoms,auxiliary examination,differential diagnosis and treatment of posterior scleritis were reviewed.
