Posterior scleritis is a great mimicker and can cause irreversible visual loss because of late or misdiagnosis. We report a case of retinal pigment epithelial rip in the event of nodular posterior scleritis that is hardly reported in the literature. The authors hypothesize the rip to be a result of inflammation, exudation and continuing pressure by the fluid or granuloma on the pigment epithelium.
后巩膜炎极易误诊，且因其诊断延迟或错误可导致不可逆的视力丧失。我们报告了一例结节性后巩膜炎并发视网膜色素上皮撕裂的病例，该病例在文献中鲜有报道。作者推测这种撕裂是炎症、渗出以及液体或肉芽肿对色素上皮持续施压的结果。
