Purpose:
To evaluate anatomical and functional results of perforating pars plana sclerotomy in 2 patients with the idiopathic uveal effusion syndrome (IUES).
Methods:
In two patients with IUES the perforating pars plana sclerotomy was performed. During the surgery samples of the suprachoroidal fluid for biochemical analysis of protein fractions were taken.
Results:
During the follow-up period (average 4 years) the retina and the choroid attached, and the central visual acuity (VA) improved as well in both patients.
Conclusion:
In IUES, the conservative treatment is not effective. Perforating pars plana sclerotomy is treatment of choice and it had positive anatomical and functional effect in both our patients with IUES.
