Inhaltsangabe

This book allows the reader to understand how to diagnose and treat the important eye disease called scleritis. It covers the conditions which cause the disease and the diseases that may be confused with scleritis. Sceritis is connected with systemic disease and therefore the book is also relevant for physicians especially rheumatologists.

Über diesen Titel

Von der hinteren Coverseite

Scleritis is an uncommon but important disorder of the schera that represents a serious threat to vision and to the integrity of the eye. It may herald the onset of a potentially life threatening systemic vasculitic illness. Accurate clinical assessment is essential to accurately diagnose the severity of the scleral inflammation and to plan investigations and treatment.

This concise and beautifully illustrated text is an authoritative guide to the management of patients with scleritis and episcleritis and is written by internationally recognised specialists who bring their export knowledge and experience of managing this challenging form of inflammatory eye disease.

Contents include:

• Anatomical and biochemical aspects of the sclera


• Classification of scleral inflammation


• Pathology


• Episcleritis


• Anterior scleritis


• Posterior scleritis


• Infectious and surgically-induced scleritis


• Complications


• Investigation and management


• Surgical management.

This book will be useful not only for Consultant Ophthalmologist and Registrars, but will be a valuable reference for rheumatologists, immunologists and other physicians involved in the care of patients with scleritis.
