Two patients developed unilateral serous retinal detachments of the macula resembling idiopathic center serous chorioretinopathy within 9 months of cardiac transplantation, while one renal transplant recipient developed bilateral serous detachments within 6 months of surgery. In two cases (three eyes), dense, yellow, fibrlin-like exudates were present in the subretinal fluid. At the time of presentation, each of the three patients had a modest elevation of blood urea nitrogen. Laser photocoagulation was performed in three eyes with limited success, although ultimately the detachments resolved leaving only mild visual impairment (6/9 vision). The differential diagnosis of visual loss in the transplant population includes serous detachment of the sensory retina as well as more serious chorioretinal infections related to immunosuppression.
