Choroidal Effusion Following Continuous Positive Airway Pressure Treatment
Journal of The Medical Association of Thailand, 07/14/09
Simaroj P et al. - A 46-year-old man was diagnosed with obstructive sleep apnea and began using a nasal continuous positive airway pressure (CPAP) during sleep for a month. He presented with the complaint of a painful blurred vision in his left eye upon awakening two days earlier. His visual acuity was 20/25 both eyes. There was a mild anterior chamber reaction in the left eye. The patient received topical 0.1% dexamethasone four times daily and temporarily discontinued the CPAP. By one week after treatment, the choroidal effusion was completely resolved.
