  • Title: Optos Optomap Panoramic 200MA imaging of a serous choroidal detachment responsive to furosemide.
    Author: Shah SP, Jain A, Tsui I, McCannel TA.
    Journal: Semin Ophthalmol; 2009; 24(1):40-2. PubMed ID: 19241292.
    Abstract:
    PURPOSE: To describe a case of a serous choroidal detachment which resulted after discontinuation of furosemide and illustrate the utility of ultrawide-angle fundus imaging in documenting this lesion in the retinal periphery. DESIGN: Observational case report. METHOD: An 85 year old female presented with symptoms of a "brown curtain" descending over the left eye which was temporally related to recent discontinuation of oral furosemide. Ultrawide-field photography allowed for accurate documentaton of the choroidal detachments. RESULT: After resuming furosemide, the serous choroidal detachments resolved. CONCLUSION: We hypothesize a shift of free water following discontinuation of furosemide as a novel etiology for the development of serous chordoidal detachments. Ultrawide-field fundus photography was useful to document this lesion.
