Idiopathic uveal effusion syndrome can mimic choroidal tumors. This rare condition involves spontaneous choroidal detachment and may require surgical intervention for effective treatment.

Area of Science:

  • Ophthalmology
  • Medical Imaging

Background:

  • Idiopathic uveal effusion syndrome (UES) presents as spontaneous serous detachment of the choroid and ciliary body.
  • Pathophysiology involves scleral impermeability to protein, potentially leading to serous retinal detachment.

Observation:

  • A 65-year-old male with mild hyperopia presented with a peripheral choroidal tumor OD and macular retinal folds OU.
  • Normal ocular inflammation, medical, serological, and immunological workups were noted.
  • MRI revealed a thickened sclera consistent with UES.

Findings:

  • The patient remained asymptomatic with stable ocular findings over a 12-month follow-up, negating the need for immediate therapy.
  • UES should be considered in the differential diagnosis of choroidal tumors with serous retinal detachment.

Implications:

  • Accurate diagnosis of UES is crucial for appropriate management.
  • Surgical interventions like sclerectomy or sclerotomy can be effective treatments for UES.
