Peripapillary serous retinal detachment preceding complete posterior vitreous detachment.
OBJECTIVE
To report on a case of peripapillary serous detachment due to vitreopapillary traction during the development of posterior vitreous detachment.


METHODS
A 63-year-old female presented with acute decreased viual acuity and peripapillary serous retinal detachment extending to the macula in her left eye. Visual acuity was 20/200 in left eye and 20/20 in right eye. Optical coherence tomography confirmed the clinical findings.


RESULTS
Peripapillary serous detachment resolved spontaneously 1 week after presentation with the complete development of posterior vitreous detachment. Visual acuity improved to 20/20.


CONCLUSIONS
Posterior vitreous detachment may cause peripapillary and macular serous detachment during the development.
