Research Excerpts

ExcerptRelevanceReference
"Recognition of this syndrome is important because: (1) surgical procedures for glaucoma should be avoided, if possible, in order to prevent the development of uveal effusion; (2) retinal detachment surgical procedures are ineffective in uveal effusion and should be avoided, and (3) choroidal elevation occurring in the uveal effusion phase may be erroneously diagnosed as an intraocular tumor and unnecessary enucleation may follow."1.25Nanophthalmos with uveal effusion. A new clinical entity. ( Brockhurst, RJ, 1975)
