Abstract: | PURPOSE: To report a case of surgically induced necrotising sclerokeratitis (SINS) with imminent uveal prolapse following uncomplicated cataract surgery. METHODS: Case report. RESULTS: The causative agent was found to be a subtarsal abscess and the condition responded to drainage of the localised infection and a course of topical antibiotics. CONCLUSION: This report represents the first account of postoperative scleral necrosis arising from a subconjunctival abscess, and illustrates the importance of identifying all aetiopathogenic factors in cases of postsurgical necrotizing scleritis. |
