Abstract:
Retinal pigmented epithelium detachment is frequently associated to age related macular degeneration or others maculopathies. More rarely no cause can be found, particularly in young patients where it constitutes an entity named "Idiopathic serous detachment of the retinal pigmentary epithelium". We report such a case. We insist on the clinical and angiographical characteristics which allows a differentiation from the idiopathic central serous chorioretinopathy with which it can be confused. Last, it is important to point that for the time being no treatment can shorten the evolution.
