摘要：

Necrotising scleritis is a severe form of anterior scleritis which is known to be associated with connective tissue disease but has not previously been reported in association with limited scleroderma. It is often a difficult condition to treat and without adequate early intervention leads to significant morbidity including visual loss. We report three cases of necrotising scleritis, two occurring in the context of previously unreported associations and a third case to compare presentation of the condition and highlight difficulties in management.
