Abstract
To review the literature on eyes with concurrent rhegmatogenous retinal and choroidal detachment (RRD-CD). Several databases were searched for "rhegmatogenous retinal detachment" and "choroidal detachment" through October 2022. All English language primary literature was reviewed. Studies demonstrated that eyes with RRD-CD were very uncommon and had diminished baseline visual acuity (VA) and intraocular pressure (IOP) compared with eyes with RRD only. Although no randomized trials have been performed, pars plana vitrectomy with or without scleral buckle (SB) have reported higher surgical success rates than SB alone. Reattachment rates were affected by age, IOP, adjuvant steroids, and grade of proliferative vitreoretinopathy. Low IOP and poor initial VA are salient features of eyes with RRD-CD. Steroids can be useful adjuvants administered safely using several routes including periocular and intravitreal injection. PPV±SB may result in best surgical outcomes.
