Purpose:
|
Retinal pigment epithelium detachment (PED) is an area of retinal pigment epithelium (RPE) elevation with minimal or no sensory retinal detachment resulting from the accumulation of sub-RPE fluid. There are many etiological factors that lead to the development of PED. PED may be observed as an isolated finding or in association with ocular and systemic conditions.

Case Report
|
|
Results:
|
This case was thought to be the first report of a 23-year-old male with bilateral cluster PED associated with diffuse proliferative glomerulonephritis (DPGN) and keratoconus. This paper provides a review of the possible linkage between DPGN and KC with PED.
|
|
Conclusion:
|
The development of PED and KC in individuals with DPGN is more than a simple incidental event. Patients with DPGN should have regular fundus examinations, and follow-up should be conducted by an ophthalmologist who is aware of the possible presence of these diseases.
