Abstract

Choroidal nevi are frequently seen, benign intraocular tumors originating from the uvea. The majority of choroidal nevi are asymptomatic and diagnosed incidentally. However, they can be symptomatic due to decompensation and metaplasia of the retinal pigment epithelium, photoreceptor atrophy, or choroidal neovascularization. They tend to have a low potential for malignant transformation. Serous macular detachment secondary to choroidal nevi is a cause of severe visual morbidity. The diagnosis and treatment may cause difficulties for physicians. In this report, we present three cases of serous macular detachment secondary to choroidal nevi and discuss its clinical features and treatment options.

Özet

Koryoidal nevüsler iyi huylu, uveadan köken alan ve sık görülen intraoküler tümörlerdir. Çoğu asemptomatik olan ve tesadüfen saptanan koryoidal nevüsler retina pigment epitel dekompanzasyonu ve metaplazisi, fotoreseptör atrofisi veya koryoid neovaskülarizasyonu sonucunda semptomatik hale gelebilmektedir. Nadiren de olsa malign transformasyon gösterebilirler. Koryoidal nevüslerin foveayı tutan seröz dekolman ile komplike olması ciddi görsel morbidite sebebidir. Bu olgularda tanı ve tedavide zorluklar yaşanmaktadır. Bu çalışmada koryoidal nevüslere ikincil seröz dekolman gelişen üç olgu sunularak klinik özellikleri ve tedavi seçenekleri tartışılmıştır.
