Transient retinal striae.
Transient retinal folding was observed in a 28-year-old woman presenting with bilateral uveal inflammation. These retinal striae resolved within 5 weeks as the anterior uveal inflammation responded to topical cycloplegic and corticosteroid therapy. Ultrasonographic findings demonstrated choroidal thickening as a contributing factor in the production of these temporary retinal folds. We present this unusual case since transient retinal folding has been rarely documented, and as far as we are aware, has not been previously investigated by ultrasonography.
