Purpose:
To present the results of a clinicopathologic study of patients with bilateral idiopathic multifocal serous retinal pigment epithelial detachments (RPEDs).
Method:
Retrospective review of the medical records of three middle-aged patients with innumerable RPEDs. The eye of one patient was available for histopathologic examination.
Results:
The presence of multiple serous RPEDs was verified with fluorescein angiography and optical coherence tomography in two patients and by histopathologic examination of one eye of a third patient, who developed a submacular hematoma and vitreous hemorrhage caused by a focal area of choroidal neovascularization.
Conclusions:
No cause for the multifocal serous RPEDs was found.
