Abstract Purpose:We report a case of successful treatment of uveal effusion syndrome(UES) associated with microphthalmia using scleral fenestration surgery.

Case:An 83-year-old male developed persistent macular edema in his left eye during follow-up after bilateral cataract surgery at a nearby hospital. Consequently, he received several sub-Tenon injections of triamcinolone. Subsequently, serous retinal detachment(SRD) extended to the macula, causing his left visual acuity to decline to 20/1,000.

 At the time of presentation to our department, the axial lengths were 15.91 mm in the right eye and 15.92 mm in the left eye, leading to a diagnosis of microphthalmos in both eyes.

 The left eye was diagnosed with nanophthalmos and uveal effusion, and a left scleral window procedure was performed. In the inferior nasal and inferior temporal regions, a scleral deep layer incision was made over a similar scleral half-layer resection, and a small scleral resection was also performed to create a scleral window.

 At 1 year and 8 months postoperatively, macular edema persists in the left eye, but no recurrence of SRD has been observed.

Conclusion:Although SRD developed in UES of nanophthalmos and was treatable via scleral fenestration at two inferior sites, it was considered that earlier surgery should have been performed to better preserve visual acuity.
