[Case reports on serous detachment of choroid and retina as complication after photocoagulation of diabetic retinopathy (author's transl)].

A case of diabetic retinopathy is reported that developed after photocoagulation a serous detachment of the retina followed by an additional detachment of the choroid. In 3 other cases there were only serous detachments of the choroid. The detachments showed spontaneous regression. Such complications occur probably more often than observed as the patient does not remakr them and the physician has no cause to examine the far periphery of the fundus.
