Multifocal choroiditis after retinal detachment surgery.
A 50-year-old white man with rhegmatogenous retinal detachment of the right eye developed multifocal choroiditis after repair of retinal detachment. The mechanism appeared to be hypersensitive to the scleral buckling material. The choroiditis rapidly cleared following removal of all scleral buckling material.
