Bilateral Idiopathic Recrudescent Multifocal Retinal Pigment Epithelial Detachments in a Patient underwent intraocular surgery after Eye Injury: a Case Report

Abstract

Background Bilateral multifocal retinal pigment epithelial detachment (RPED) is a rarely observed entity. Such condition is mostly seen in some idiopathic ocular or systemic pathologies. We report a case of bilateral idiopathic recrudescent multifocal retinal pigment epithelial detachment in a patient after eye injury and traumatic cataract surgery. Case presentation The patient is a middle-aged Asian male who developed bilateral multifocal RPED in both eyes following left eye trauma and surgery. The RPED disappeared after conservative treatment but recurred after the implantation of the secondary intraocular lens. There are currently few reports of similar cases involving recurrent bilateral multifocal RPED. Conclusions Comprehensive ophthalmological examinations and thorough systemic assessments are crucial to rule out underlying conditions. While some reports suggest that treatment may not be necessary, appropriate non-invasive treatment may help accelerate the pace of recovery.
