Abstract The amplitude of the electroretinogram (ERG) in retinal detachment is believed to be directly proportional to the area of attached retina,1 and the visual field defect usually is in accord with the location of the subretinal fluid.2 We report a case of idiopathic uveal effusion syndrome, revealing exceptional findings of the ERG and visual field.
