Abstract

Abstract : Purpose: To report a case of posterior uveal effusion syndrome presented and treated as posterior uveitis. Methods: We report one case of a 73-year-old woman with posterior uveal effusion syndrome who developed bilateral chorioretinal folds, treated as uveitis, who did not resolve on oral steroids. Results: Nasal choroidal thickening and intraretinal fluid were present in both eyes, along with choroidal folds and yellowish pigmentary changes in the macula. Conclusion: Posterior uveal effusion syndrome can present with features that can mimic uveitis. Abstract : A patient presented with presumed uveitis and was diagnosed with posterior uveal effusion syndrome.
