RHEGMATOGENOUS RETINAL DETACHMENT

Originally posted on @retina.rocks 05/06/2020

This 16YO presented with a chronic inferior macula-off rhegmatogenous retinal detachment (RRD). Vision was 20/200.

What’s most unique about this detachment is the rare appearance of intraretinal macrocysts inferonasally.

These cysts are a sign of very long-standing retinal detachments. The multiple demarcation lines also indicate chronicity.

Learning Points:
During RRD repair, the cysts require no special modifications and resolve following retinal reattachment.
