---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
1 | 5 mo | No | Infectious cellulitis | CT | Down syndrome | IOID with scleritis |
1 | 2 mo | No | Infectious cellulitis | CT | Down syndrome | IOID with scleritis |
2 | 3 mo | Yes, disc edema | Optic neuritis | MRI | Not found | Bilateral idiopathic scleritis |
3 | 2 mo | No | Intraorbital mass | CT | Not found | Idiopathic scleritis |
4 | 2 mo | Yes, uveal mass | Choroidal melanoma | CT | Not found | Nodular idiopathic scleritis |
5 | Acute | No | Infectious cellulitis | CT, MRI | DRM; Colon carcinoma | Infectious orbital disease with panophthalmitis |
6 | 6 mo | No | Infectious cellulitis | CT, MRI | Down syndrome | IOID with sclerouveitis |
7 | 1 mo | Yes, scleritis | Scleritis or tumor | MRI | Granulomatosis with polyangiitis | Autoimmune orbital inflammation with scleritis |
8 | 2 mo | No | Uveitis | CT, MRI | JIA | Autoimmune sclerouveitis |
9 | 3 wk | Yes, inconclusive | Optic pathway condition | CT, MRI | None | Idiopathic scleritis |
10 | 4 wk | No | Optic pathway condition | MRI | None | Idiopathic scleritis |
Note:—DRM indicates dermatomyositis; JIA, juvenile idiopathic arthritis; Pt, patient; US, ultrasonography.
↵a Duration of symptoms refers to the time elapsed between onset of symptoms of scleritis (pain, vision disturbances) and the time of imaging.
↵b Diagnosis after ophthalmologic evaluation and ultrasound and before CT and/or MRI.
