This healthy 9YO girl presented with an asymptomatic retinal dialysis. The dialysis was demarcated with laser to prevent her from developing a retinal detachment.
Learning Points:
A retinal dialysis is a retinal break at the ora serrata, is usually inferotemporal and can either develop spontaneously (usually in young men) or following trauma.
Dialyses are virtually always treated due to the risk of retinal detachment.
