We present the case of a 57 years old woman which was admitted for the amputation of the infero-nasal visual field of the right eye, change observed by the pacient for 2 weeks. Clinical examination and lab exams revealed the cause of this change: a rhegmatogenous retinal detachment in the superior temporal quadrant. Surgical treatement was warranted. We did a posterior vitrectomy with trans-scleral crioapplications and injection of silicone oil 1000. We followed the patient's evolution post-operative and we observed the development of a complicated cataract which was treated in a second surgery together with the extraction of the silicone oil. The evolution was favorable.
