  • Title: [Outer retinal edema or multifocal choroiditis after retinal detachment surgery. A case report].
    Author: Baílez C, Pastor JC.
    Journal: Arch Soc Esp Oftalmol; 2001 Jun; 76(6):379-84. PubMed ID: 11438869.
    Abstract:
    CASE REPORT: We describe a case of a woman who, in the postoperative period of retinal detachment, developed an ophthalmoscopic picture which could correspond to abnormal outer retinal swelling or multifocal choroiditis. Ophthalmoscopic appearance consists of multiple yellowish subretinal lesions in the temporal area of the posterior pole with a cobblestone appearance. DISCUSSION: The two entities are extremely rare complications of rhegmatogenous retinal detachment surgery, with very similar funduscopic appearance. The first one consists of localized pockets of subretinal fluid remaining after retinal detachment surgery. Multifocal choroiditis is an inflammatory process related to various causes.
