RHEGMATOGENOUS RETINAL DETACHMENT

Originally posted on @retina.rocks 01/08/2020

This patient has bilateral scleral buckles following prior rhegmatogenous retinal detachment surgeries.

Cryotherapy scarring is present superotemporally OD and laser scarring is present inferotemporally OS around a few tiny retinal holes that caused the initial detachment.

There is also a large demarcation line OS indicating that the left detachment was present for some time before being repaired.

Learning Points:
Primary scleral buckle can be used to repair certain types of rhegmatogenous retinal detachments.
