A novel technique of full-thickness scleral debridement in fulminant necrotising infectious scleritis and its outcomes-a consecutive case series.

This study highlights the fulminant and relentlessly progressive clinical course, that infectious scleritis can metamorphose into, despite specific antimicrobial therapy, if inadvertent corticosteroid therapy is administered. Full-thickness debridement without scleral patch graft, could achieve elimination of infectious foci, with favourable long-term anatomical and visual outcome. This technique could offer a potential last-resort approach in such cases where standard therapeutic modalities have not been successful.
