Abstract
Exudative retinal detachment refers to the separation of the neurosensory retina from the underlying retinal pigment epithelium (RPE) as a result of abnormalities of the normal hydrostatic/osmotic pressure gradients or transport mechanisms that maintain the physical apposition of these two layers or due to excessive production of extracellular fluid. Exudative retinal detachments lack the presence of a retinal break or vitreoretinal traction and generally display a dome or convex configuration. Exudative retinal detachment is usually associated with local ocular or systemic etiology.
