Abstract
Choroidal effusion syndrome is a rare idiopathic condition that occurs predominantly in middle-aged man with hyperopia and is characterized by ciliochoroidal detachment (CD), followed by exudative retinal detachment. To present a clinical case of postoperative choroidal detachment in a child with SturgeWeberCrabbe syndrome after microinvasive non-penetrating glaucoma surgery.
 RESULTS: This article presents the clinical case of postoperative choroidal detachment in a child with SturgeWeberCrabbe syndrome after microinvasive non-penetrating glaucoma surgery. Against the background of the existing anomalies in the development of an optic disc after antiglaucomatous intervention for decompensated glaucoma, after the normalization of IOP, the patient developed choroid detachment with exudative retinal detachment the next day of operation. After conservative therapy involving bed rest and double instillation of mydriatics for 1 month, the situation was completely resolved and his vision was restored to 1.0.
 DISCUSSION: The atypicality of our clinical case of CD lies in the overly pronounced exudative component. In addition to the classic CD vesicles, we observed high exudative retinal detachment as well as high retinoschisis, which is extremely atypical for classical CD. Considering the characteristics of congenital syndrome, it is necessary to accurately differentiate atypical CCA from the rare choroidal effusion syndrome, which also includes CCA with retinal detachment, but does not present with retinoschisis. Against the background of conservative therapy with bed rest and two instillations of mydriatics for 1 month, the situation was completely resolved, and the patients vision was restored to 1.0. In the treatment of such patients, it is always necessary to consider their individual anatomical features as well as to understand the detailed pathogenesis of the complications that arise before rushing to repeat surgery.
