Purpose:
To report an unusual case of serous retinal detachment at the macula in a patient with a history of sarcoidosis.
Method:
Case report. In a 44-year-old Caucasian man, the history, clinical features, fluorescein angiography, laboratory and radiological investigations, treatment, and lung autopsy findings are presented.
Results:
A serous detachment of the retina in the macula of his left eye was observed. He had pulmonary hypertension secondary to active sarcoid granulomas that caused pulmonary angiitis.
Conclusion:
Serous retinal detachment at the macula may occur in association with pulmonary angiitis secondary to sarcoidosis.
