Abstract
A 37-year-old male patient presented with metamorphopsia and unilateral visual impairment with the presence of hundreds of bilateral avascular retinal pigment epithelial detachments (PEDs). The patient suffered from allergic bronchial asthma which was treated with inhaled corticosteroids. Cessation of corticosteroid treatment resulted in flattening of larger PEDs and subsequent transition to atrophic areas over time while smaller PEDs persisted and spread peripherally over an observation period of 14½ years.Entities:
