Abstract
GORRONO-ECHEBARRIA, M.B.; CASTRO, M. and CLEMENT, A.. Spontaneous primary uveal effusion syndrome. Arch Soc Esp Oftalmol [online]. 2007, vol.82, n.8, pp.505-508. ISSN 0365-6691.
Clinical case: This was a 73 year-old male patient who developed an apparent uveal effusion syndrome in his right eye one year after cataract surgery. Once possible associated conditions were discarded, a diagnosis of spontaneous uveal effusion syndrome was reached. With appropriate systemic steroid therapy, a favourable response occurred. Discussion: The diagnosis of uveal effusion may sometimes be difficult to establish. In order to diagnose and manage these patients, a detailed clinical examination along with fluorescein angiography, ultrasonography, ultrasound biomicroscopy (UBM) and magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) tests, must be carried out.
