Summary
Although “common things occur commonly”, very infrequently the first signs of a life-threatening and/or sight-threatening disease is a manifestation within the posterior segment. It is important to recognize such changes such that timely intervention can be instituted to reduce morbidity. This talk will cover a number of unusual diseases using a case-based approach. The imaging and clinical features that distinguish these rare disorders from common and more benign conditions will be addressed. This will be an interactive talk with therapeutic aspects.
Learning Objective
- Differentiate the different causes of retinal haemorrhage.
