Uveal effusion following pan-retinal photocoagulation
Annals of Ophthalmology
|November 1, 1979
Abstract:
Uveal effusion combined with nonrhegmatogenous retinal detachment is presented as a complication of pan-retinal photocoagulation in diabetic patients. This complication is believed to be a direct effect of photocoagulation on the choroidal vasculature. The mechanism is postulated to be secondary to photocoagulation-induced choroiditis, choroidal vascular occlusion, or a combination of the two. Corticosteroid therapy is recommended as being effective in resolving the choroidal effusion.
