OBJECTIVE
We treated a 69-year-old woman with bilateral uveal effusions associated with primary pulmonary hypertension, congestive heart failure, and vomiting.
METHODS
The patient underwent ophthalmoscopic, echocardiographic, and fluorescein angiographic examinations.
RESULTS
Increased venous pressure caused by congestive heart failure and vomiting was implicated as the cause of bilateral uveal effusions. The uveal effusions responded well to systemic furosemide.
CONCLUSIONS
Primary pulmonary hypertension with right-sided congestive heart failure and vomiting can lead to the development of uveal effusions.
