Abstract

Introduction: Seasonal hyperacute panuveitis (SHAPU) is still a dilemma in the field of ophthalmology. Every alternate odd year from September until January, children usually present with unilateral painless red eyes if not treated in a timely manner, rapidly progressing to phthisis bulbi.

Case: Case was also diagnosed as a case of seasonal hyperacute panuveitis.

Observations: However, during the treatment, the patient developed spontaneous scleral necrosis, which has not been reported to date.

Conclusion: Seasonal hyperacute panuveitis may have different clinical presentation, therefore cases of seasonal hyperacute panuveitis should be monitored and evaluated properly before initiating treatment.
