[Acetazolamide and uveal effusion: report of two cases]

Abstract

We report two cases of uveal effusion following oral acetazolamide administration: one case after a standard cataract surgery and a second following a preventive treatment for altitude sickness. The outcome in both cases was favorable. This rare complication requires appropriate management, including ruling out other pathologies. The pathophysiological mechanism is not fully understood.
