RHEGMATOGENOUS RETINAL DETACHMENT

Originally posted on @retina.rocks 06/08/2022

This 25YO female was referred for an asymptomatic rhegmatogenous retinal detachment (RRD) in her left eye. The detachment had an unusual oval shape that did not reach the ora, with a small causative break.

Fundus autofluorescence (FAF) shows variable hyper-FAF throughout the detachment, likely due to unmasking of the underlying RPE by dysfunctional photoreceptors.

Various treatment options were discussed, and the patient opted for thermal laser demarcation.
