Full-thickness Sclerotomy for Uveal Effusion Syndrome
نویسندگان
چکیده
To report the surgical outcome of full-thickness sclerotomy in five cases of uveal effusion syndrome (UES). Full-thickness sclerotomy without sclerectomy was performed on five eyes of four patients with UES with or without nanophthalmos. In four of the eyes, exudative retinal detachment associated with UES resolved after the sclerotomy. The subretinal fluid in one eye, which had a normal axial length, was relieved after undergoing three sclerotomy procedures. Full-thickness sclerotomy without vortex vein decompression or sclerectomy is an effective surgical option for the management of significant UES.

“Uveal effusion” was first described in a nanophthalmic patient by Schepens and Brockhurst in 1963 [1]. Gass and Jallow [2] described a similar syndrome in 1982, idiopathic uveal effusion syndrome, in healthy middle-aged men with normal eyes [2]. These patients usually present with visual loss in either one or both eyes with a superior visual field defect derived from an inferior RD [3]. It is ...
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.
