Serous retinal detachment at the macula in sarcoidosis.
OBJECTIVE
To report an unusual case of serous retinal detachment at the macula in a patient with a history of sarcoidosis.


METHODS
Case report. In a 44-year-old Caucasian man, the history, clinical features, fluorescein angiography, laboratory and radiological investigations, treatment, and lung autopsy findings are presented.


RESULTS
A serous detachment of the retina in the macula of his left eye was observed. He had pulmonary hypertension secondary to active sarcoid granulomas that caused pulmonary angiitis.


CONCLUSIONS
Serous retinal detachment at the macula may occur in association with pulmonary angiitis secondary to sarcoidosis.
