Multimodal imaging in retinal pigment epithelium rip with exudative bullous retinal detachment. A middle-aged man presented with exudative retinal detachment in the left eye. He was previously diagnosed as a case of large pigment epithelial detachment in the same eye, for which he was asked to follow-up closely, citing the risk of an retinal pigment epithelium (RPE) rip. Multimodal imaging confirmed the presence of a large RPE rip with exudative retinal detachment. He is a known retrovirus patient on anti-retroviral therapy with stable CD4 counts. He was diagnosed as a possible case of bullous variant of central serous chorioretinopathy and underwent external subretinal fluid drainage. We highlight the multimodal imaging findings of RPE rip with exudative retinal detachment and its impact on the patients visual acuity.
