Abstract
The presence of a choroidal detachment combined with a retinaldetachment sometimes can be misdiagnosed. The presence of cells in theanterior chamber, opacities of the lens, or vitreal haze may add trouble inthe evaluation of the fundus, which is already difficult to examine due to thepresence of the double detachment.
Performing an examination with standardized echography is crucial indeciding the management of this disease. A case report that proves theusefulness of echography is discussed.
