Tubulointerstitial Nephritis and Uveitis Syndrome Presenting with Scleritis.

PURPOSE: To report two patients who presented with scleritis associated with tubulointerstitial nephritis and uveitis syndrome (TINU).

RESULTS

A 13-year-old male initially presenting with unilateral panuveitis with scleritis in the fellow eye was ultimately diagnosed with TINU. A 33-year-old male previously diagnosed with TINU presented with recurrent bilateral episcleritis as well as bilateral scleritis eight years after his first episode of bilateral anterior uveitis. Both patients' scleritis responded to local corticosteroids and systemic immunosuppression.

CONCLUSIONS

Scleritis should be considered among the ocular manifestations of TINU.
