    This case report details uveal effusion syndrome, a rare condition characterized by nanophthalmos and hypermetropia. The study highlights its potential unilateral presentation and distinct ocular findings.

    Area of Science:

    • Ophthalmology
    • Medical Case Reports

    Background:

    • Uveal effusion syndrome is a rare condition characterized by fluid accumulation in the suprachoroidal space.
    • Nanophthalmos and hypermetropia are often associated with this syndrome, though its exact etiology remains unclear.

    Observation:

    • A case of unilateral uveal effusion with nanophthalmos and hypermetropia in a 40-year-old woman is presented.
    • The patient exhibited thickened sclera and peripheral retinal vascular anomalies, key features of the syndrome.
    • Unlike some reported cases, this syndrome was not accompanied by glaucoma.

    Findings:

    • The syndrome can manifest unilaterally, expanding the clinical spectrum of uveal effusion.
    • Scleral thickening and peripheral retinal vascular anomalies are identified as characteristic traits.

  • The findings suggest a secondary cause related to vorticose system dysfunction and impaired intrascleral circulation.

    • Implications:

    • This case broadens the understanding of uveal effusion syndrome's presentation and potential variations.
    • Identifying the role of vascular compromise in the vorticose system may guide future research and treatment.
    • Further investigation into scleral properties and vascular anomalies is warranted for this rare condition.
