Retinal detachment
Summary
Definition
History and exam
Key diagnostic factors
- loss or deterioration of central vision
- flashes of light
- loss of peripheral visual field
Other diagnostic factors
- floaters
Risk factors
- posterior vitreous detachment
- increasing age
- myopia
- previous cataract surgery
- trauma
- previous ophthalmic surgery
- intraocular tumor
- vitreous hemorrhage
- affected fellow eye
- diabetes mellitus
- retinopathy of prematurity
- ocular inflammation/infection
- peripheral retinal degeneration
- anatomic abnormality
- age-related macular degeneration
- phosphodiesterase-5 inhibitor use in men
- genetic and vascular causes in childhood
- childhood tumors
Diagnostic tests
1st tests to order
- visual acuity testing
- slit-lamp exam
- indirect ophthalmoscopy
Tests to consider
- wide-field color photography
- optical coherence tomography (affected eye)
- B-scan ultrasonography (affected eye)
- CT/MRI of orbit
Treatment algorithm
