A 27-year-old male patient presented with a complaint of 2 years of gradual vision loss in his left eye. His best-corrected visual acuity was logMAR 1.30 (approximate Snellen equivalent, 20/400) OS. Dilated fundus examination revealed a macula-off inferotemporal retinal detachment (RD) in the left eye. Two oval cystoid abnormalities were seen at the 3-o’clock and 4-o’clock meridian near the equator, and a retinal hole was visualized near the equator at approximately the 4-o’clock meridian (, A). The patient was diagnosed with a chronic rhegmatogenous RD with retinal cystoid abnormalities. Ultra-widefield swept-source optical coherence tomography (BM-400K BMizar; TowardPi Medical Technology) showed the cavity of the retinal cystoid abnormalities, which were connected like a pair of sunglasses (, B). Retinal cystoid abnormalities can be indicators of chronic RD, typically resolving after surgical management of the RD.
