Purpose:
To report primary retinal pigment epithelial (RPE) detachments in sarcoidosis.
Design:
Case report.
Methods:
Clinical findings, fluorescence angiography and optical coherence tomography (OCT) results are presented and discussed.
Results:
A 54-year-old Hispanic male with biopsy proved sarcoidosis presented with multiple RPE detachment in both eyes. Except for acute iritis, there were no other ocular manifestations of sarcoidosis.
Conclusions:
Detachments of the RPE may be a rare manifestation of ocular sarcoidosis.
