Objective: To report the clinical case of a patient presenting at the Ophthalmology emergency department of “Hospital Universitario Fundación Jiménez Díaz” of Madrid with retinal detachment associated with iris retraction.
Clinical case: Sixty-year-old female with a history of vitreous detachment of the right eye presenting at the emergency department due to redness and pain in the same eye. Ophthalmologic examination revealed the presence of rhegmatogenous retinal detachment associated with iris retraction
Conclusion: Though it is a rare entity, iris retraction with normal intraocular pressure may mask a serious disorder such as retinal detachment. This is why it is very important to identify this detachment, and examination including funduscopy should be given priority in these patients.
