Bullous retinal detachment (RD) is a rare manifestation of chronic central serous chorioretinopathy and may be associated with an underlying retinal pigment epithelial (RPE) tear. It may be confused with rhegmatogenous RD or serous RD from conditions such as Harada disease. Appropriate diagnosis is essential as this may prevent unnecessary surgery or treatment with medication that may worsen the condition. We present the case of a young male Indian patient with unilateral bullous RD and a tentative diagnosis of rhegmatogenous RD. He underwent RD surgery, however a large RPE tear was discovered intraoperatively.
