Bilateral exudative retinal detachment in a child with orbital pseudotumor.
We describe a 15-year-old girl who presented with bilateral exudative retinal detachment, a previously unreported complication, due to orbital pseudotumor. She initially responded to steroids, but subsequently became steroid dependent. Azathioprine was effective in controlling further relapses during follow-up of 22 months.
