title: [Posterior scleritis].
abstract: Posterior scleritis, a severe and painful inflammation of the sclera, is an often misdiagnosed pathology due to its clinical polymorphism. An accurate diagnosis is however needed in order to propose an appropriate treatment of the ophthalmologic symptoms and to exclude an associated systemic inflammatory or auto-immune pathology.
