description AIM: To report on the effectiveness of systemic steroid-pulse therapy in treating idiopathic choroidal detachment. CASE PRESENTATION: Our patient developed idiopathic choroidal detachment after cataract surgery for pseudoexfoliation glaucoma and glaucoma filtration surgery. Systemic steroid-pulse therapy was performed, and the choroidal detachment resolved completely. CONCLUSION: We suggest systemic steroid-pulse therapy as a treatment option for idiopathic choroidal detachment with low intraocular pressure.
