title: Retinal pigment epithelial detachments in posterior scleritis.
abstract: A 12-year-old girl developed posterior scleritis and many detachments of the retinal pigment epithelium. Computed axial tomographic findings, reported in posterior scleritis for the first time, disclosed thickening of the posterior sclera. Computed axial tomography appears to be a sensitive test for the diagnosis of posterior scleritis.
