Abstract

Purpose: To report a case of posterior uveal effusion syndrome presented and treated as posterior uveitis.

Methods: We report one case of a 73-year-old woman with posterior uveal effusion syndrome who developed bilateral chorioretinal folds, treated as uveitis, who did not resolve on oral steroids.

Results: Nasal choroidal thickening and intraretinal fluid were present in both eyes, along with choroidal folds and yellowish pigmentary changes in the macula.

Conclusion: Posterior uveal effusion syndrome can present with features that can mimic uveitis.
