ABSTRACT
CASE REPORT: We describe the findings on optical coherence tomography before and after treatment with corticosteroids in a 51 year old patient with recurrent episodes of bilateral posterior scleritis without associated systemic disease. DISCUSSION: We believe that optical coherence tomography allows the pathological changes that occur in posterior scleritis to be monitored by objective and quantitative comparison of images, and even for therapeutic decisions.

Caso clínico: Se describen los hallazgos encontrados en la tomografía de coherencia óptica (OCT) antes y después del tratamiento con corticoides sistémicos en un paciente de 51 años con episodios recurrentes de escleritis posterior bilateral sin enfermedad sistémica asociada. Discusión: Consideramos que la OCT puede permitir hacer un seguimiento de las alteraciones patológicas que se suceden en la escleritis posterior, mediante la comparación objetiva y cuantitativa de imágenes, e incluso para la toma de decisiones terapéuticas(AU)
