Özet

We report a case of bilateral choroidal detachment that occurred shortly after uneventful bilateral lensectomy and anterior vitrectomy. B-scan ultrasonography showed severe choroidal detachment in the right eye accompanied by limited detachment of the overlying retina and mild choroidal effusion in the left eye. Two bilateral peribulbar injections of corticosteroid 5 days apart resulted in complete resolution of the choroidal effusion in each eye.
