Morphometric Assessment of Sclera and Ciliary Body in Patients with Noninfectious Anterior Scleritis : A Quantitative Study Using Ultrasound Biomicroscopy
BACKGROUND: At present, the severity and grade of anterior scleritis are judged mainly based on the area and location of involvement, whether there is necrosis, etc. Quantitative measurement of sclera and surrounding tissues will help to accurately assess the severity of scleritis and provide quantitative indicators for the choice of treatment.
METHODS: We retrospectively analyzed the thickness of sclera and ciliary bodies detected by ultrasound biological microscopy (UBM) in noninfectious anterior scleritis patients who subsequently were treated with topical or systemic treatment, and visited our hospital from March 2014 to March 2021. Age- and sex-matched normal individuals were used as controls.
RESULTS: A total of 185 patients (50 males and 135 females) with noninfectious anterior scleritis and 84 (31 males and 53 females) controls were included. In patients with noninfectious scleritis, the thickness of sclera and the ciliary body were significantly greater than those in the control group (p < 0.05). Before treatment, the thickness of sclera and the ciliary body in systemic treatment group was significantly higher than that in topical treatment group (p < 0.05). After treatment, both thicknesses of sclera and the ciliary body decreased significantly (p < 0.05). The ratio of ciliary body thickness from the site of inflammation to the normal position was significantly higher in the systemic treatment group than in the topical treatment group.
CONCLUSIONS: UBM quantitatively shows a decrease in AST/CBT in patients with anterior scleritis after treatment. The ratio of ciliary body thickness at the site of information to that at the normal position may be a reference for the choice of treatment.
