Can scleritis be easily misdiagnosed?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Yes: Particularly if it is posterior scleritis (which can mimic idiopathic orbital inflammation, orbital cellulitis, or vitritis). Anterior scleritis can be misdiagnosed as many things as well, but common misdiagnoses may include uveitis and episcleritis.
