Racecadotril induced bilateral uveal effusion: a case report

This case of bilateral uveal effusion was probably caused by racecadotril, since this was the only recently started drug, and we observed a complete resolution of the effusion after cessation of the drug. It is possible that the increase in enkephalins caused by racecadotril intake, leads to changes in the choroid, causing choroidal effusion. It is important to recognize uveal effusion as a rare side effect of racecadotril, because of its possible sight threatening character.
