ABSTRACT
We have reviewed 168 cases of angiographically proved SRD of the macular region of unknown etiology that were seen at The Cleveland Clinic Foundation. Thirty-seven percent of these patients had documented coincident systemic diseases. Of that group, patients with autoimmune disease appeared to have ocular symptoms during the active phase of the systemic illness. Nine cases are reported characterizing the coincidence of exacerbation of systemic disease with recurrent serous detachment of the neurosensory retina. It is our hypothesis that in patients with autoimmune disease, the choroiditis is secondary to the damage caused by immune complexes. Thus, in these patients, SRD was a manifestation of the systemic illness.
