Abstract
Combined retinal detachment and choroidal detachment is an uncommon diagnosis that a surgeon will occasionally
face. Although the experienced vitreoretinal surgeon can manage nearly all obstacles during the surgery, an inexperienced
vitreoretinal surgeon will face a few difficulties during certain steps. In this article, we describe a case report
and highlight some of these obstacles and suggest some options to overcome them.
