Here, we describe an external drainage technique for non-resolving vision-threatening\nexudative retinal detachment which combines the advantages of internal drainage (widefield viewing and\nintraocular pressure control using continuous anterior chamber infusion) with those of external drainage (drainage\nof sub-retinal fluid without vitrectomy).\nCase presentation: To illustrate this technique, we present a 13-year-old girl with macula-off exudative retinal\ndetachment secondary to Vogt-Koyanagi-Harada syndrome, which was unresponsive to aggressive medical\nmanagement....................................
