This study assesses the effectiveness of pars plana vitrectomy in treating uveal effusion syndrome in six patients who underwent various surgical procedures, including internal drainage and photocoagulation.
All cases resulted in retinal reattachment, but complications were noted in the nanophthalmic cases, including the need for additional surgery and one case of subchoroidal hemorrhage.
The findings suggest that vitrectomy is beneficial for non-nanophthalmic uveal effusion, enhancing visual outcomes, whereas nanophthalmic cases may require sclerostomy as a preliminary step.
