    Author: Tesar PJ, Burgess JA, Goy JA, Lazell RW.
    Journal: Gastroenterology; 1981 Jul; 81(1):153-5. PubMed ID: 7239114.
    Abstract:
    Ulcerative colitis is associated with many ocular complications. The only systemic disease currently recognized to be complicated by scleromalacia perforans is rheumatoid arthritis. A 36-yr-old male is described whose long-standing ulcerative colitis was complicated by scleromalacia perforans at a time of disease activity. The scleromalacia was successfully treated with high-dose steroids and total proctocolectomy.
