Bullous retinal detachment in diffuse retinal pigment epitheliopathy.
Central serous choroidopathy can occur in an atypical, severe clinical expression also known as diffuse retinal pigment epitheliopathy. We report two cases in which this affection was complicated by a bullous retinal detachment of the lower quadrants. In one case the subretinal leaking point was photocoagulated. The evolution was favourable in both cases with resolution of the detachment and partial recovery of the visual acuity.
