Systemic steroid-pulse therapy in a patient with idiopathic choroidal detachment: A case report

Abstract

Aim: To report on the effectiveness of systemic steroid-pulse therapy in treating idiopathic choroidal detachment. Case Presentation:Our patient developed idiopathic choroidal detachment after cataract surgery for pseudoexfoliation glaucoma and glaucoma filtration surgery. Systemic steroid-pulse therapy was performed, and the choroidal detachment resolved completely. Conclusion: We suggest systemic steroid-pulse therapy as a treatment option for idiopathic choroidal detachment with low intraocular pressure. Copyright © 2012 S. Karger AG, Basel.
