A 60-year-old female patient presented with recurrent anterior, necrotizing scleritis with inflammation and a newly developed secondary glaucoma in the right eye. Anterior uveitis occurred some years before. Severe scleral thinning was circumferentially present and focal scleral ectasia was found. Physical examination revealed no systemic association of scleritis. Immunosuppressive therapy with metotrexate was initiated and control of scleritis achieved. Intraocular pressure elevation persisted and was refractory to glaucoma medication. Diurnal pressure curve showed IOP-values of 40 mm Hg despite the use of systemic carbonic anhydrase inhibitors. Visual acuity was 20/50 in the right and 20/25 in the left eye.
