  Fig. 1 (A,B) Slit lamp photographs. Note the moderate chemosis prominent at the temporal conjunctiva (arrows) (anisocoria is pharmacologic). (C–H) Retinal elevation was observed in both eyes (arrows) with macular exudate in the right eye. In autofluorescence imaging, hyper autofluorescence in the area corresponding to the retinal elevation was detected due to the presence of subretinal fluid. (I,J) In fluorescein angiography, hypofluorescent areas were seen in both eyes, compatible with the clinical examination and optical coherence tomography (arrows). The hypofluorescence occurred because of accumulation of subretinal fluid and the resultant blockage, without any signs of vascular leakage (hyperfluorescence) such as smoke stack sign or expansile dot in late phases (not shown here). (K,L) Repeat macular optical coherence tomography 2 months later revealed significant resolution of the subretinal fluid. Informed consent was obtained from the patient for publication of this case report and relevant images.
