Abstract
We report on a case of necrotizing keratoscleritis in primary Sjogren’s syndrome. A 66-year-old female patient who
was complaining of ocular pain, tearing and decreased vision in her right eye for the previous two days was admitted
to our hospital. Visual acuity in the right eye was hand movement, and initial examination showed a 3.0 × 1.8 mm
uveal mass bulging through a corneoscleral melting site in the nasal region of the right eye. Positive anti-nuclear antibody
was identified at a titer of 1:320 with a speckled pattern, and both Sjogren’s syndrome A and Sjogren’s syndrome
B antibody tests were positive, with titers >200 U/mL. A technetium 99m pertechnetate salivary scan revealed
chronic sialoadenitis in the submandibular glands. We diagnosed the lesion as necrotizing keratoscleritis
due to primary Sjogren’s syndrome. A corneoscleral patch graft was performed, followed by immunosuppression including
oral cyclosporin and topical prednisolone. During a follow-up period of 12 months, the corneoscleral graft
was well maintained with no recurrence.
