title: [Uveal effusion syndrome after strabismus surgery].
abstract: METHODS
  A woman was operated on for strabismus under topical anesthesia. An exudative conjunctivitis was diagnosed immediately after the surgery, and a uveal effusion syndrome diagnosed 15 days later. Surgery exploration, vycril suture removal and therapy with systemic, sub-tenon, and topical corticosteroid and antibiotics was initiated. Intraoperative culture revealed evidence of Staphylococcus epidermidis. Good resolution occurred in 4 months.
  
  
  CONCLUSIONS
  Uveal effusion secondary to strabismus surgery has not been reported in the published literature. Implant and suture infection by Staphylococcus epidermidis following scleral buckling surgery may be a possible, but rare, cause of the uveal effusion syndrome.
