Symptoms

Acute loss of vision Pain RednessAsthenopia

Signs

Nodule on anterior sclera if associated with anterior scleritis

Fundus signs Fundal mass Choroidal folds or retinal striae Exudative retinal detachment Cystoid macular edema


B Scan

Thickening of posterior eye wall Edema in retrobulbar space T sign – fluid in subtenons space Serous retinal detachment Subretinal massOptic nerve head swelling

Fundus Fluorescein Angiography

Initial mottling of choroidal background Followed by multiple pinpoint areas of

hyperfluorescein


Fundus Fluorescein Angiography

In middle and late phases of angiogram these foci leak fluorescein into subretinal space
