Abstract
Retinal detachment is a common complication seen in cases of choroidal coloboma. Shallow traction-related retinal detachments can occur at the edge of coloboma due to traction on the retina by the taut ICM. The ICM can become thin and give way at one or more places leading to breaks in ICM. These breaks can lead to detachment of the ICM from underlying sclera. Breaks can occur in the healthy retina similar to what can happen in any other non-colobomatous eye, which can lead to retinal detachment. Prophylactic laser barrage is indicated in eyes with attached retina. Pars plana vitrectomy is the procedure of choice in cases of retinal detachment.
