Retinal detachment. a Diagram illustrating total retinal detachment. Note the anatomic retinal attachment points. b Axial US image in a 45-year-old man with Marfan syndrome: two echogenic lines form an acute angle, with the “V” shape characteristic of an acute retinal detachment. At this stage, the retinal leaves are thin and mobile (arrows). This condition requires surgical treatment. c 75-year-old woman with chronic retinal detachment. At this stage, the retinal leaves look thick and rigid, adopting a funnel-shaped configuration (arrowheads); this condition is not amenable to surgical treatment
