Abstract

Scleritis is a severe painful inflammatory process localized in the sclera. Scleritis may be the revealer of many systemic diseases so that it is important to exclude multisystem disease. We present a case of non-necrotizing antero-posterior scleritis revealing a systemic tuberculosis which is an uncommon manifestation of tuberculosis. Diagnosing and managing the disease can be difficult. However, a good anamnesis, a careful clinical evaluation, an adequate interpretation of the investigations and an appropriate management allow a good prognosis.
