title: Bilateral serous retinal detachment associated with Alport's syndrome.
abstract: We report a 14-year-old girl with Alport's syndrome who developed bilateral exudative retinal detachment in the macula. With the development of chronic renal failure, bilateral serous retinal detachment appeared which had the retinal flecks characteristic of Alport's syndrome. The serous detachment was resolved and vision recovered following intensive hemodialysis. As far as we know this is the first case with documentation of the onset and resolution of serous retinal detachment in Alport's syndrome.
