. A 72 years old woman who presented with what was clinically first thought to be an intraocular neoplasm in her left eye was examined clinically and with standardized echography. She was found to have a superior choroidal detachment combined with an inferior retinal detachment and dilated episcleral vessels. Her right eye showed only subtle changes. Following steroid treatment there was a regression after a few months. Less than a year later she presented with symptoms mainly from her right eye which was found to have a high bullous nonrhegmatogenous retinal detachment and a visual acuity which was highly dependent on her position. The echographic findings will be discussed.
