Bilateral uveal effusion associated with scleral thickening due to amyloidosis.
A 45-year-old man with primary systemic amyloidosis was found to have bilateral uveal effusions secondary to thickened sclera according to magnetic resonance imaging of the orbits. The patient was treated with bilateral sclerectomies and vortex vein decompression, and had an excellent outcome. Light microscopy of excised sclera revealed severe infiltration of the tissue by amyloid. To our knowl...
متن کاملScleral hydraulic conductivity and macromolecular diffusion in patients with uveal effusion syndrome.
PURPOSE To determine whether uveal effusion syndrome (UES) is caused by altered scleral permeability to water and large molecules. METHODS Transscleral water movement was measured using surgically removed sclera clamped in a modified Ussing chamber and connected to a water column set at intraocular pressure. Sclera was also clamped between two hemichambers, and transscleral diffusion of FITC-...
متن کاملIsolated posterior uveal effusion: expanding the spectrum of the uveal effusion syndrome
Uveal effusion syndrome usually causes peripheral chorioretinal detachment, but posterior effusion may present as isolated macular edema with serous macular detachment in the setting of hyperopia and a thickened posterior choroid. Carbonic anhydrase inhibitors may be effective to treat this condition.
متن کاملChoroidal findings in idiopathic uveal effusion syndrome
PURPOSE We report choroidal findings by means of enhanced depth imaging spectral-domain optical coherence tomography (EDI-OCT) in a patient with idiopathic uveal effusion syndrome (IUES). CASE REPORT A 41-year-old man was referred to us with ciliochoroidal and non-rhegmatogenous retinal detachments. Sclerectomies and sclerostomies were performed at the equator in the lower quadrants, resultin...
متن کاملTwo Cases of Uveal Effusion Syndrome
PURPOSE To report a case of uveal effusion syndrome associated with hypotony and a case of uveal effusion syndrome in nanophthalmos. METHODS The first case was a 25-year-old man who presented with decreased visual acuity in the left eye and hypotony. Fundus examination revealed choroidal effusion and retinal detachment with a thickened eyeball. Partial thickness sclerotomy and sclerectomy wer...
