چکیده
Is it retinal detachment? While most often the diagnosis of retinal detachment is straightforward, there could be confusion on occasions. Conditions that can be confused with retinal detachment are retinal oedema (as in Berlin’s oedema), retinoschisis, choroidal detachment, thick vitreous membranes (as in Uveitis), altered blood, etc. Evaluation should include careful slit lamp biomicroscopy, indirect ophthalmoscopy and where needed ultrasonography (even when there is view of some fundus details).
