OUTER RETINAL TUBULATIONS IN CHRONIC RHEGMATOGENOUS RETINAL DETACHMENT

View through CrossRef
Background/Purpose: To present the first reported case of outer retinal tubulations in the setting of a rhegmatogenous retinal detachment. Methods: Case report. Patients: A 56-year-old man presented with a right eye retinal detachment of unclear duration. On examination, he was found to have a chronic-appearing rhegmatogenous retinal detachment involving the peripheral macula with a demarcation line. Results: Spectral-domain optical coherence tomography revealed outer retinal tubulations in the area of demarcation but not in the area of the detached retina. Conclusion: Outer retinal tubulations have been described in a wide spectrum of retinal diseases. The authors herein present the first reported case of outer retinal tubulations in the setting of a rhegmatogenous retinal detachment which may further aid in describing their pathogenesis.
