Case presentation We study the relevant recent literature reports and review the aetiology, clinical classification, pathogenesis, diagnostic characteristics, treatment methods, and prognosis of this disease. When we encounter UES patients clinically, we can classify them according to their clinical characteristics and adopt different treatment plans for different types. The retina of this patient reattached 5 months after receiving eight periocular injections of triamcinolone acetonide (TA). Conclusions For type III UES patients, local hormone therapy can be applied, and follow-up should be done to optimize the clinical outcome.
