title: [Giant peripheral tear of the retinal pigmented epithelium].
abstract: The authors present a case of gigantic tear of the retinal pigmented epithelium. This tear was situated in the middle periphery and seems to have appeared spontaneously together with a carotid-cavernous fistula. The functional outcome was favorable. The authors deal with the various possible patho-physiological mechanisms.
