title: [Posterior scleritis associated with central retinal vein occlusion and cystoid macular edema: case report].
abstract: A case of posterior scleritis associated with central retinal vein occlusion and cystoid macular edema is reported. With this case, we noticed how the disease can be aggressive and how the visual acuity can be compromised. However, the correct treatment can improve the ocular changes with visual improvement. We also alert to the care with the use of high doses of corticosteroids.
