Abstract
RPE detachment is in most cases associated with ocular disease such as AMD, CSC, and others. In rare cases, it may be caused by systemic changes primarily manifesting themselves in the choroid. It is important to recognize these systemic diseases correctly, since therapeutic strategies have to focus not only on ocular manifestations but also have to include the systemic changes.
