RESUMEN
March 2021 marked the first centenary of the publication of Fidel Pagés Miravé's seminal article Anestesia metamérica in the Revista Española de Cirugía. Pagés' knowledge of Bier and Tuffier's intradural (1889-1900) and Gil Vernet's sacral (1917-1918) techniques played a pivotal role in the development of the epidural anesthesia technique. Fidel Pagés' extensive experience with treating the casualties of armed conflicts, his proficiency in French and German, and his vast knowledge of anatomy, physiology and pharmacology lie behind the accuracy with which he describes the different approaches, the different anesthetic solutions, or the different instruments used, and the indications, contraindications and complications associated with his technique. In the centenary of his article, we would like to thank Fidel Pagés' for describing an anesthetic and analgesic technique that has improved the lives of so many patients.

PURPOSE/METHODS: We report the findings in a patient who presented with exudative macular detachment and discuss the most useful ancillary test and the treatment of this uncommon illness. The diagnostic tests show the typical features of this pathology. RESULTS/CONCLUSIONS: The macular exudative retinal detachment is one of the most frequent features of the posterior scleritis. The case that we report has similar findings to other cases described in the literature. Posterior scleritis is an uncommon disease, but we must take it into account in the differential diagnosis of a macular exudative retinal detachment.
