Abstract
We report a rare complication of posterior scleritis in a 38 year old female, who presented with pain and blurring of vision. She was treated with systemic steroids over a period of 6 weeks with resolution of scleritis & improved vision. A year later she again presented with sudden drop in vision in the same eye and a fundus picture of active large choroidal neovascular membrane (CNVM) in the peri-papillary region extending to the fovea. This is a rarely reported complication, possibly due to structural changes in the choroid-bruch membrane complex secondary to posterior scleritis.
