To describe the occurrence of nodular scleritis in a patient developing tubulointerstitial nephritis and uveitis (TINU) syndrome.
Observational case report.
The case notes of a 57-year-old female presenting with recurrent nodular scleritis, who later developed interstitial nephritis with bilateral uveitis, were reviewed.
Common and established causes of scleritis were not present in an adult who developed the TINU syndrome a decade later.
Although scleritis has not been reported as a tubulointerstitial nephritis-associated ocular inflammation, it may be part of the possible spectrum of ocular inflammation occurring as part of the TINU syndrome.
描述一名患有肾小管间质性肾炎和葡萄膜炎(TINU)综合征的患者出现结节性巩膜炎的情况。
观察性病例报告。
回顾了一名57岁女性的病例记录,该患者反复出现结节性巩膜炎,后来发展为间质性肾炎伴双侧葡萄膜炎。
在十年后发生TINU综合征的一名成年人中,不存在巩膜炎常见的既定病因。
虽然巩膜炎尚未被报告为与肾小管间质性肾炎相关的眼部炎症,但它可能是作为TINU综合征一部分而出现的眼部炎症可能范围的一部分。
