Medical Therapy and Scleral Windows for Uveal Effusion Syndrome: A Case Series and Literature Review.

Abstract

Uveal effusion syndrome (UES) is arare ocular disease causing idiopathic uveal effusion, often with associated ciliochoroidal and retinal detachment. UES diagnosis is challenging because of overlapping features with other ocular inflammatory, neoplastic, iatrogenic, and drug-induced causes of uveal effusion. While several successful surgical treatments have been described, such as full-thickness or partial-thickness sclerectomy, medical therapies may also have a therapeutic role. To provide an updated review of the published literature on the course of the disease, medical and surgical management strategies, as well as newer treatment modalities.
