Purpose: To describe the formation of a retinal pigment epithelial (RPE) tear following immunosuppressive treatment of a large choroidal granuloma in a patient with sarcoidosis-related panuveitis.
Methods: A 25-year-old woman presented with bilateral sarcoidosis-related panuveitis and optic disc edema in both eyes with a large choroidal granuloma temporal to the fovea in the left eye. High-dose oral prednisone therapy was given.
Results: High-dose oral prednisone therapy produced improvement in her panuveitis with reduction in size of the left choroidal granuloma. An RPE tear overlying the flattening choroidal granuloma developed by 3 weeks of treatment.
Conclusions: Treatment of choroidal granuloma with rapid reduction in size may result in an RPE tear.
