Retinal detachment with multiple breaks – http://id.who.int/icd/entity/135350256

This is a disorder of the eye in which the retina peels away from its underlying layer of support tissue. Initial detachment may be localised, but without rapid treatment the entire retina may detach, leading to vision loss and blindness. This diagnosis is with multiple breaks.
