Bilateral symmetric retinal detachments usually point to an exudative/systemic cause.1 2 Fig. 1 ), suggesting a rhegmatogenous cause (patient had multiple bilateral untreated lattices with holes). We report a rhegmatogenous cause of bilateral symmetrical retinal detachment which, to the best of our knowledge, has not been documented.
