“…In eyes affected by idiopathic UES, a primary abnormality of the sclera may play a causal role in the dysfunction of choroidal fluid dynamics [12]. Histochemical studies have shown an accumulation of glycosaminoglycan-like deposits filling the interfibrillar spaces in sclera excised from eyes affected by UES [13][14][15][16].These alterations are associated with the abnormal transscleral diffusion of choroidal extravascular proteins and the accumulation of fluid in the choroid as a result of increased osmolarity. In eyes affected by UES, scleral thinning procedures have been shown to enhance transscleral protein diffusion, thus leading to the resolution of ciliochoroidal and serous retinal detachment.…”

“…A síndrome de efusão uveal idiopática acomete principalmente indivíduos saudáveis e homens de meia-idade (10,12) . A apresentação inicial mais comum é a baixa acuidade visual central, descolamento de retina exsudativo, acompanhado de espessamento ou descolamento de coróide e de corpo ciliar anular (5,8,12) . Caracteriza-se também pela dilatação dos vasos episclerais e pressão ocular normal (12) .…”

“…Todas as entidades clínicas causadoras de efusão cílio-coroidiana secundária formam o diagnóstico diferencial da sín-drome de efusão uveal idiopática, são elas: síndrome de VogtKoyanagi-Harada (2) ; nanoftalmia (5,7) , tumores coroidianos (metástases, linfoma, melanoma) (1,4) ; mixedema (5) ; esclerite (1) ; sífi-lis (6) ; toxoplasmose (1) ; coroidorretinopatia serosa central idiopática (12) ; fístula carótido-cavernosa (1) ; oftalmia simpática (1) e pseudotumor orbitário (1) . O presente estudo relata um caso de efusão uveal secundária, sendo a tuberculose ocular a etiologia mais provável, diagnosti- apresentações clínicas, nenhum caso evoluiu com efusão uveal (16) .…”
