Scleritis is a rare vision-threatening condition that can occur isolated or in association with other orbital abnormalities and whose etiology is typically inflammatory/noninfectious, either idiopathic or in the context of systemic disease. The authors analyzed 11 cases of scleritis in which CT and/or MR imaging were performed during the active phase of disease and assessed the diagnostic utility of these techniques. The most important imaging findings of scleritis were scleral enhancement, scleral thickening, and focal periscleral cellulitis. MR imaging is the recommended imaging technique.
