| Popis: | Purpose To present the results of a clinicopathologic study of patients with bilateral idiopathic multifocal serous retinal pigment epithelial detachments (RPEDs). Method Retrospective review of the medical records of three middle-aged patients with innumerable RPEDs. The eye of one patient was available for histopathologic examination. Results The presence of multiple serous RPEDs was verified with fluorescein angiography and optical coherence tomography in two patients and by histopathologic examination of one eye of a third patient, who developed a submacular hematoma and vitreous hemorrhage caused by a focal area of choroidal neovascularization. Conclusions No cause for the multifocal serous RPEDs was found. |
