  • Title: [Acute pancreatitis, papillary coloboma and serous macular detachment].
    Author: Ehongo A, Van Den Ende P, Zanen A.
    Journal: Bull Soc Belge Ophtalmol; 1997; 267():63-74. PubMed ID: 9745815.
    Abstract:
    A serous macular detachment in one eye with spontaneous flattening is seen twice during acute pancreatitis in a man aged thirty-four years who has a pancreatic malformation and an optic disc coloboma of this eye. Fluorescein angiography discloses the classic sequence of an optic disc pit complicated by maculopathy. Vascular leakage attributed to acute pancreatitis is also seen in the macula. Every time, both retinal detachment and vascular leakage have disappeared in few days. The mechanism responsible for the development of the macular detachment in this case is discussed.
