Optical coherence tomography findings showing the time course of changes in 3 cases with exudative retinal detachment (ERD) after pattern scan laser photocoagulation (PASCAL). In the first patient (case 1, upper row), ERD occurred 3 days after PASCAL. Unfortunately, though the ERD resolved spontaneously 1 month later, visual function did not recover. In the second patient (case 2, middle row), ERD occurred 2 days after PASCAL. Fortunately, the ERD resolved spontaneously 2 months later, and visual function recovered successfully. In the final patient (case 3, lower row), ERD occurred 3 days after PASCAL. Fortunately, the ERD resolved spontaneously 3 weeks later, and visual function recovered moderately.
