[Uveal effusion syndrome and scleral thickening].
The uveal effusion syndrome associates bullous no rhegmatognous retinal detachment with shifting subretinal fluid, choroidal detachment and elevated spinal fluid protein. This syndrome could result of nonophthalmos, scleral thickening and/or vortex vein attenuation. The author describes a case of uveal effusion syndrome with isolated scleral thickening. Theoretical explanations of this syndrome are emphasized on the basis of literature and clinical and surgical guidelines are given.
