Sumario:Here, we report a case of a nine-year-old boy with chronic juvenile rheumatoid arthritis (JRA) leading to scleromalacia perforans (SP). We rarely see SP with fixed deformities of rheumatoid arthritis in the hands, but not as a starting point of the disease. He reported eye manifestations associated with JRA on further investigation and inquiry. The right globe was preserved on presentation, and the left was perforated. He lost sight in his left eye when he was treated with antibiotics and visited various physicians in his native region.
