Spectral domain optical coherence tomography imaging of subretinal bands associated with chronic retinal detachments

Clin Ophthalmol. 2016 Mar 30:10:467-70. doi: 10.2147/OPTH.S99754. eCollection 2016.

Abstract

We report three patients with subretinal bands associated with retinal detachment in chronic retinal detachments who underwent successful retinal reattachment. Subretinal bands before and after surgery can be identified on clinical examination and spectral domain optical coherence tomography. Removal of subretinal bands is not mandatory to achieve retinal reattachment.

Keywords: optical coherence tomography; retinal detachment; subretinal bands.
