Serous Retinal Detachment in Dome-shaped Macula with 7 Years Follow-up

Adel G Alakeely et al. Middle East Afr J Ophthalmol. 2016 Oct-Dec.

Abstract

Dome-shaped macula (DSM) was first described by Gaucher et al. as a convex protrusion of macula within a staphyloma in highly myopic eyes that cause visual impairment associated with serous foveal detachment (SFD). We describe a patient with persistent SFD in DSM documented by serial spectral domain optical coherence tomography for 7 years with stable vision.

Keywords: Dome-shaped Macula; Long Follow-up; Observation; Persistent Serous Foveal Detachment; Stable Vision.
