- Description
- This 18-year-old girl gave the history of having been hit in this eye three years before with a fist and of having retinal surgery nine months previously, which was temporarily successful. When the photograph was taken, she had a total left retinal detachment with a small nasal dialysis which had not been treated. She also had two prominent intraretinal cysts, one of which is shown here. The retina promptly reattached following further surgery and the next slide shows an interesting change in this cyst.
