Rhegmatogenous retinal detachment with retinal telangiectasia.
A 34-year-old man with unilateral retinal telangiectasia developed a bullous retinal detachment. A horseshoe retinal tear was found at 12 o'clock. The detachment resolved with placement of an encircling scleral buckle. The prompt and permanent resolution of subretinal fluid supported our belief that this was a rhegmatogenous retinal detachment.
