Abstract

A 52-year-old woman presented all ocular and systemic findings of the spontaneously occurred uveal effusion described by Schepens and Brockhurst associated with microphthalmos and high degrees of hyperopia was reported. Fluorescenn angiography revealed the presence of profound leakages from the choroid into subretinal spaces at the posterior and equatorial region, and the presence of focal leakages in some central retinal veins of the right eye. Left eye showed numerous fluorescent dots due to pigment epithelial defects of the posterior pole and of the equatorial region. It was thus suggested that uveal effusion described by Schepens and Brockhurst may be the same disease as bullous retinal detachment (Gass, 1973), peculiar type of secondary retinal detachment (Tsukahara, 1973), characteristic chorioretinal lesion with peripheral retinal detachment (Mimura et al., 1973), or effusive central serous choroidoretinopathy (Yoshioka, 1973) in Japan.
