PURPOSE: To describe remarkable choroidal thickness fluctuations corresponding to episodes of recurrent anterior uveitis with subretinal fluid development when exceeding a choroidal thickness threshold.
METHODS: A patient with pachychoroid pigment epitheliopathy and unilateral acute anterior uveitis of the left eye was evaluated over a period of 3 years with multimodal retinal imaging including optical coherence tomography. Longitudinal changes in subfoveal choroidal thickness (CT) were measured and correlated with episodes of recurrent inflammation.
RESULTS: Over the course of five recurrent episodes of inflammation in the left eye treated with oral antiviral and topical steroid therapy, subfoveal CT increased as much as 200 μm or more. By contrast, subfoveal CT in the fellow quiescent right eye was within normal limits and minimally changed throughout the follow-up. Increased CT occurred with each episode of anterior uveitis and decreased by 200 µ m or more during periods of quiescence in the affected left eye. Subretinal fluid and macular edema developed with a maximum CT of 486 μm and spontaneously resolved when CT decreased after treatment.
CONCLUSION: In eyes with pachychoroid disease, anterior segment inflammation may lead to marked increases in subfoveal CT and the development of subretinal fluid at a threshold thickness value.
