Sclerectomies and sclerostomies were performed at the equator in the lower quadrants, resulting in resolution of the ciliochoroidal and retinal detachments. EDI-OCT demonstrated low-reflective areas in the outer choroid. The subfoveal choroidal thickness measured vertically from the outer border of the RPE to the inner border of the sclera was 787 &micro;m which was significantly thicker than the normal value (272 &plusmn; 90 &micro;m, n = 131) obtained from age-matched normal controls.Conclusions: The findings made by EDI-OCT have provided additional evidence that choroidal alterations play a role in the pathological process in IUES.Keywords: uveal effusion syndrome, spectral-domain optical coherence tomography, EDI-OCT, OCT, choroidHarada TMachida SFujiwara TNishida YKurosaka DDove Medical PressarticleOphthalmologyRE1-994ENClinical Ophthalmology, Vol 2011, Iss default, Pp 1599-1601 (2011)
