A CASE OF POSTERIOR UVEAL EFFUSION SYNDROME MASQUERADING AS UVEITIS.
OBJECTIVE
To report a case of posterior uveal effusion syndrome presented and treated as posterior uveitis.


METHODS
We report one case of a 73-year-old woman with posterior uveal effusion syndrome who developed bilateral chorioretinal folds, treated as uveitis, who did not resolve on oral steroids.


RESULTS
Nasal choroidal thickening and intraretinal fluid were present in both eyes, along with choroidal folds and yellowish pigmentary changes in the macula.


CONCLUSIONS
Posterior uveal effusion syndrome can present with features that can mimic uveitis.
