Retinal Detachment with Choroidal Detachment

Retinal detachment with choroidal detachment (RRD-CD) is a rhegmatogenous retinal detachment associated with serous choroidal detachment, presenting with lower IOP, anterior-chamber cells, and a deeper/shadowed choroid. It is a more complex detachment. Treatment: preoperative systemic corticosteroids to reduce choroidal detachment; then pars-plana vitrectomy and/or scleral buckle; high complication/recurrence risk.

Common Symptoms

RRD symptoms (flashes/floaters/curtain); low IOP; anterior-chamber cells; choroidal detachment on B-scan

Causes and Pathogenesis

RRD is associated with inflammatory serous choroidal detachment, complicating repair.

Treatment

Pre-op systemic steroids; then vitrectomy/buckle; high complication risk

Preventive Measures

Urgent surgery; pre-op steroids.
