title: Necrotizing scleritis after ocular surgery.
abstract: Six cases of acute necrotizing scleritis are described. These first presented after ocular surgery to the same eye and possible aetiological factors relating to the surgery are discussed. A mechanism for the production of scleritis in these cases is proposed which is analogous to an experimental animal model.
