Abstract
-
Rarely, break in the non-pigmented epithelium in the pars plicata can occur and sometimes develop into retinal detachment. We experienced a case of retinal detachment associated with lens coloboma in 34-year-old male. A break in the non-pigmented epithelium in pars plicata was found with retinal detachment. We treated the break by cryoapplication, scleral buckling and encircling.
