Surgically induced necrotizing scleritis at the sclerotomy site after vitrectomy. . With intense conjunctival congestion, exudation at the sclerotomy site and presence of discharge on the fifth postoperative day, scleral abscess was suspected (A). After intense systemic and topical steroid therapy, resolving necrotizing scleritis with reduction in prominence of scleral induration can be seen at 1 week (B). At two months, scleritis has resolved completely with consequent scleral thinning (C). Uveal show can also be seen.

OS was 6/60 and IOP was 22 mm Hg. On examination, localized episcleral congestion and discharge were noted (Figure 1A (Fig. 1)). Although scleral necrosis was present, the nodule had decreased in size and the indurated margins were less prominent (Figure 1B (Fig. 1)). Scleral thinning was noted with uveal show (Figure 1C (Fig. 1)).
