Abstract
PURPOSE Pediatric traumatic retinal detachment (RD) resulting from open globe injuries (OGIs) or closed globe injuries (CGIs) presents unique challenges due to complexity often resulting in lifelong sequelae. This study compares pediatric traumatic RD outcomes and prognostic factors following OGI and CGI. METHODS A retrospective analysis reviewed 47 cases of pediatric traumatic RD in children (age <18 years), who underwent RD surgery between 2002 and 2021. Among them, 25 cases were caused by CGI and 22 cases by OGI. Demographics, RD characteristics, surgical procedures, and anatomical and functional results were assessed. Predictive factors for visual outcomes were investigated. RESULTS In the CGI group, mean (±SD) age was 11 years ± 4 years, and 10 years ± 5 years in the OGI group. Closed globe injury traumatic RD had significantly better preoperative (CGI: logarithm of the minimum angle of resolution 1.39 ± 0.19 (mean ± standard error); OGI: logarithm of the minimum angle of resolution 2.12 ± 0.20) and follow-up (CGI: logarithm of the minimum angle of resolution 0.94 ± 0.19; OGI: logarithm of the minimum angle of resolution 1.85 ± 0.20) best-corrected visual acuity (BCVA) ( P < 0.05). Initial BCVA improvement was observed in CGI only. In multivariable analysis, prognostic factors for favorable BCVA outcomes included higher preoperative BCVA, older age, and absence of proliferative vitreoretinopathy ( P < 0.05). CONCLUSION Visual prognosis for pediatric traumatic RD remains limited, favoring CGI cases compared with OGI. Baseline BCVA emerged as a major determinant of final visual acuity. Tailored management approaches can optimize treatment results.

Abstract
Retinal detachment (RD) occurs when the neurosensory retina, the neurovascular tissue responsible for phototransduction, is separated from the underlying retinal pigment epithelium (RPE). Given the importance of the RPE for optimal retinal function, RD invariably leads to decreased vision. There are three main types of RD: rhegmatogenous, tractional and exudative (also termed serous) RD. In rhegmatogenous RD, one or more retinal breaks enable vitreous fluid to enter the subretinal space and separate the neurosensory retina from the RPE. In tractional RD, preretinal, intraretinal or subretinal membranes contract and exert tangential forces and elevate the retina from the underlying RPE. Finally, in exudative RD, an underlying inflammatory condition, vascular abnormality or the presence of a tumour causes exudative fluid to accumulate in the subretinal space, exceeding the osmotic pump function of the RPE. The surgical management of RD usually involves pars plana vitrectomy, scleral buckling or pneumatic retinopexy. The approach taken often depends on patient characteristics as well as on practitioner experience and clinical judgement. Advances in surgical technology and continued innovation have improved outcomes for many patients. However, even if retinal re-attachment is achieved, some patients still experience decreased vision or other visual symptoms, such as metamorphopsia, that diminish their quality of life. Continued research in the areas of neuroprotection and retinal biology as well as continued surgical innovation are necessary to enhance therapeutic options and outcomes for these patients.

Abstract
Rhegmatogenous retinal detachment (RRD) is a significant cause of vision loss and requires appropriate surgical intervention. There are several approaches available, including observation, laser demarcation, pneumatic retinopexy, scleral buckling, and pars plana vitrectomy, which are chosen based on patient condition, surgeon experience, and national health insurance policies. Despite the various options, there is still no consensus on the optimal intervention. To address this, the Taiwan Retina Society assembled an expert committee with 11 experienced retina specialists to review the current evidence and develop a guideline with seven recommendations for managing RRD patients. Additionally, a survey was conducted with six questions to assess treatment patterns in Taiwan, which included input from the expert committee and an open poll at the 2023 Congress of the Taiwan Retina Society. This report provides a comprehensive summary of the current knowledge and expert consensus on the treatment of RRD, discussing the characteristics of current approaches and providing an overview of current treatment patterns in Taiwan. These findings aim to provide ophthalmologists with the best possible treatment for RRD.

OPHTHALMOLOGY SCIENCE 2023; 3:100273. [PMID: 36950302 PMCID: PMC10025276 DOI: 10.1016/j.xops.2023.100273] [Citation(s) in RCA: 3] [Impact Index Per Article: 3.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 06/30/2022] [Revised: 01/11/2023] [Accepted: 01/12/2023] [Indexed: 01/22/2023]
Abstract
Purpose To determine the treatment patterns and outcomes of pediatric retinal detachments (RDs) associated with hereditary vitreoretinopathies. Design Retrospective cohort analysis using IRIS® Registry (Intelligent Research in Sight) database. Participants Patients < 18 years old with a rhegmatogenous RD and a systemic disorder associated with vitreoretinal degeneration (e.g., Stickler syndrome) or other malformation of the vitreous from 2013-2019. Methods Cases were identified using International Classification of Diseases, Ninth and Tenth Revisions (ICD-9, ICD-10) diagnostic codes from the IRIS® Registry cohort. Other hereditary vitreoretinopathies that are not encoded by specific ICD code(s) were captured by text search. Nonspecific vitreous abnormality ICD codes were also included. Exclusion criteria included traumatic retinal detachments using ICD codes for ocular trauma and serous or exudative retinal detachment. Surgical procedures were identified using Current Procedural Terminology (CPT) codes for repair of retinal detachment. Baseline demographic information collected included age, gender, race/ethnicity, geographic region of the provider location, and health insurance status. Main Outcome Measures Main outcomes measured in this study were average time to first surgery, number of eyes presenting with bilateral detachments, and choice of initial surgical procedure. Results A total of 2115 eyes of 1722 patients were identified (mean age, 10.4 years; 58% male). The median time to first surgery was 7 days (interquartile range, 40 days). One thousand four hundred seven eyes of 1134 patients had ≥ 1 year of follow-up, with 506 eyes (36%) developing a fellow eye RD. Thirty-three percent of patients presenting with bilateral detachments, and 349 eyes had initial RD surgery within 1 year of the index date documented by CPT code. Fellow eye detachment occurred a mean of 32 days after initial presentation. The mean number of surgeries per eye within 1 year was 1.68. Best-corrected visual acuity did not improve from a baseline 20/54 to 20/62. The initial procedure was most commonly complex RD repair (n = 176), followed by scleral buckle (n = 102), pars plana vitrectomy (n = 89), laser (n = 59), cryotherapy (n = 5), and pneumatic retinopexy (n = 5). There were 51 new diagnoses of glaucoma and 37 new diagnoses of aphakia within 1 year after the surgical procedure. Conclusions IRIS Registry data provide insight into rare pediatric vitreoretinopathy-associated RDs, which have a high rate of reoperation and fellow eye involvement. Financial Disclosures Proprietary or commercial disclosure may be found after the references.

Abstract
PURPOSE To describe the spectrum and demographic distribution of non-oncological retinal diseases in children and adolescents presenting to a multi-tier ophthalmic hospital network in India. METHODS This is a cross-sectional hospital-based retrospective study over nine years (March 2011-March 2020) from a pyramidal eye care network in India. The analysis included 477,954 new patients (0-21 years), collected from an International Classification of Diseases (ICD) coded electronic medical record (EMR) system. Patients with a clinical diagnosis of retinal disease (non-oncological) in at least one eye were included. Age-wise distribution of these diseases in children and adolescents was analysed. RESULTS In the study, 8.44% (n = 40,341) of new patients were diagnosed with non-oncological retinal pathology in at least one eye. The age group-specific distribution of retinal diseases was 47.4%, 11. 8%, 5.9%, 5.9%, 6.4%, 7.6% in infants (< 1 year), toddlers (1-2 years), early childhood (3-5 years), middle childhood (6-11 years), early adolescents (12-18 years) and late adolescents (18-21 years), respectively. 60% were male, and 70% had bilateral disease. The mean age was 9.46 ± 7.52 years. The common retinal disorders were retinopathy of prematurity (ROP, 30.5%), retinal dystrophy (19.5%; most commonly, retinitis pigmentosa), and retinal detachment (16.4%). Four-fifth of the eyes had moderate to severe visual impairment. Nearly one-sixth of patients needed low vision and rehabilitative services, and about 1 in 10 patients required surgical intervention (n = 5960, 8.6%). CONCLUSION AND RELEVANCE About 1 in 10 children and adolescents seeking eye care in our cohort had non-oncological retinal diseases; the common ones were ROP (in infants) and retinitis pigmentosa (in adolescents). This information would help future strategic planning of eye health care in the institution in pediatric and adolescent age groups.

Abstract
Myopia is a known risk factor for rhegmatogenous retinal detachment (RRD). Given global trends of increasing myopia, we aimed to determine the absolute risk (incidence rate) of RRD in non-myopes, myopes and high myopes in the United States over ten years. We performed a retrospective cohort study of 85,476,781 commercially insured patients enrolled in the Merative™ Marketscan® Research Database. The incidence rate of RRD in phakic patients in the United States was 39-fold higher in high myopes than non-myopes (868.83 per 100,000 person-years versus 22.44 per 100,000 person-years) and three-fold higher in myopes than non-myopes (67.51 per 100,000 person-years versus 22.44 per 100,000 person-years). The incidence rate was significantly higher in males in each category (P < 0.01). Combined, the incidence rate of RRD in phakic patients in the United States from 2007 to 2016 was 25.27 RRDs per 100,000 person-years, a rate higher than those in prior published studies in North America, South America, Europe, Asia, and Australia. The absolute risk of myopia and high myopia increased from 2007 to 2016. The risk of RRD in phakic high myopes rose with increasing age. Notably, the magnitude of increased risk of RRD in myopes varied substantially according to the minimum follow-up period in our models and should be accounted for when interpreting data analyses.

Abstract
PURPOSE In this study, the authors aimed to identify the demographics of retinal detachment in children in the United States and to report the treatment modalities chosen by vitreoretinal surgeons and associated outcomes. METHODS This was a multicenter cohort analysis of the Vestrum Health LLC Database (Naperville, IL). Children (1-17 years) with rhegmatogenous retinal detachment, as identified by ICD10 and CPT codes, between January 2015 and August 2021 were enrolled. Demographic, comorbidity, visual acuity, and treatment modality data were analyzed. RESULTS A total of 168,152 RRDs were identified, of which 2,200 (1.3%) were aged 1 to 17 years. The mean age was 12.7 years, and 821 (37%) were women. The prevalence of rhegmatogenous retinal detachment increased with age ( P = 0.009). Associated comorbidities included myopia (17.3%), ocular trauma (7.5%), and history of prematurity (5.7%). Laser retinopexy alone was used as the initial treatment modality in 19%, primary vitrectomy in 23%, primary scleral buckle in 25%, and vitrectomy with scleral buckle in 33%. The single surgery success rate for all procedures was 73.3%. Of the incisional surgical modalities, primary scleral buckling had the best single surgery success rate (79.0%) compared with vitrectomy alone (64.5%) and vitrectomy with scleral buckle (67.2%) ( P < 0.001 and P = 0.004, respectively). Younger age resulted in worse SSSR overall (coefficient = 0.151, R 2 = 0.746, P = 0.027). CONCLUSION Rhegmatogenous retinal detachments in children increased with age. Myopia, trauma, and history of retinopathy of prematurity were common risk factors. Treatment techniques varied, but primary scleral buckling had the best anatomical and visual outcomes.

Abstract
Purpose: To describe the predisposing factors, clinical course, and surgical methods of pediatric rhegmatogenous retinal detachment (RRD) and determine which factors affect anatomic success. Methods: Data of patients 18 years or younger who had surgical repair for RRD from January 1, 2004, to June 31, 2020, with a minimum of 6 months of follow-up were retrospectively analyzed. Results: The study evaluated 101 eyes of 94 patients. Of the eyes, 90% had at least 1 predisposing factor to pediatric RRD, including trauma (46%), myopia (41%), prior intraocular surgery (26%), and congenital anomaly (23%); 81% had macula-off detachments and 34% had proliferative vitreoretinopathy (PVR) grade C or worse at presentation. The presence of PVR grade C or worse (P = .0002), total RRD (P = .014), and vitrectomy alone at first surgery (P = .0093) were associated with worse outcomes. Patients who had scleral buckle (SB) alone at the first surgery had statistically higher rates of anatomic success than those who had vitrectomy alone or combined with SB (P = .0002). After the final surgery, 74% of patients achieved anatomic success. Discussion: The majority of cases in this study were associated with 1 of the 4 risk factors predisposing to pediatric RRD. These patients often present late with macula-off detachments and PVR grade C or worse. The majority of patients achieved anatomic success after surgical repair using SB, vitrectomy, or a combination.

Abstract
Purpose To compare re-vitrectomy versus combined re-vitrectomy with scleral buckling (SB) for pediatric recurrent rhegmatogenous retinal detachment (RRD) following failed primary pars plana vitrectomy (PPV). Methods This was a retrospective, comparative case series of pediatric patients (under 18 years) who underwent secondary RRD procedures after failed primary PPV. Patients were divided into the re-vitrectomy and the combined re-vitrectomy with SB groups. The primary outcome was the anatomical success rate for each procedure. The secondary outcomes were changes in best-corrected visual acuity (BCVA) and postoperative complications. Results In the re-vitrectomy group (30 eyes), the final anatomical success rate was 83.3% (25/30) after a mean follow-up of 21.7 + 6.9 months. The final anatomical success rate in the combined re-vitrectomy/SB group (23 eyes) was 73.9% (17/23) after a mean follow-up of 26.5 + 7.7 months. There was no statistically significant difference in the final anatomical success rate (P = 0.41) and the mean change in BCVA (P = 0.37) between the two groups. Even though not statistically significant, the combined re-vitrectomy/SB group had a lower incidence of postoperative complications (P = 0.25). Conclusion Re-vitrectomy alone provides similar anatomical and functional outcomes to combined re-vitrectomy/SB for pediatric recurrent RRD after failed primary PPV.

Abstract
PURPOSE To present a novel usage of iris puncture-assisted lensectomy with anterior vitrectomy or vitrectomy in pediatric patients with the absence of anterior chamber caused by various advanced vitreoretinopathies complicated with capsule-endothelial, iris-endothelial adhesion, and secondary glaucoma. DESIGN Prospective study. MATERIALS AND METHODS Forty-one patients were enrolled in this consecutive, prospective study. The iris puncture was performed in all patients using a 20G Vitrectomy Microsurgical Knife, followed by the lensectomy with anterior vitrectomy or vitrectomy. Demographic information, the number of iris puncture times, surgical procedure, intraoperative and postoperative complications, therapy, and prognosis were collected. Patients were followed up for at least 6 months. RESULTS A total of 18 female patients and 23 male patients were included, with a mean age of 9.5 ± 7.5 months. The formation of anterior chamber formation was achieved in 28 (68.3%) eyes, with only 1 initial episode of iris puncture, 11 (26.8%) patients required 2 episodes, and 3 episodes of iris puncture, with additional external drainage of subretinal fluid, were needed in the remaining 2 (4.9%) patients. Except for iris incarceration, which occurred in 7 (17%) eyes during operation, there was no iridodialysis or subretinal fluid overflow during operation. At the last visit (mean: 12.16 ± 5.38 months of follow-up), all eyes had a reconstructed anterior chamber with normal depth. No synechiae between the iris and the cornea occurred after surgery. The mean postoperative intraocular pressure was 6.23 ± 1.64 mmHg. A hazy cornea vanished in 31 out of 41 (75.6%) eyes, relieved in 8 out of 41 eyes (19.5%), and 2 out of 41 eyes (4.88%) did not change. In the 25 eyes accepting vitrectomy and lensectomy, 20 out of 25 (80%) achieved different degrees of reattachment. CONCLUSION The innovative iris puncture technique is effective, simple, and safe management for the anterior chamber disappearance caused by various advanced pediatric vitreoretinopathies, which helped to lower the intraocular pressure and offers a chance for lensectomy with anterior vitrectomy or vitrectomy.

Front Med (Lausanne) 2021; 8:755389. [PMID: 34746192 PMCID: PMC8569252 DOI: 10.3389/fmed.2021.755389] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 08/08/2021] [Accepted: 09/20/2021] [Indexed: 11/13/2022] Open
Abstract
Objective: To observe the characteristics and evaluate the efficacy and safety of the chronic total rhegmatogenous retinal detachment (RRD) treatment by the 23-gauge pars plana vitrectomy (PPV) in young adults and to analyze the related factors. Methods: A retrospective chart review was performed for the young adults who underwent the 23-gauge PPV for the chronic total RRD at the Tianjin Medical University General Hospital from 2011 to 2018. A total of 54 eyes of 48 patients were included in this study. The preoperative vision ranged from 2.00 to 1.00. The mean duration of RRD was 9 ± 0.6 months with a range from 4 to 18 months. The proliferative vitreoretinopathy (PVR) grade D1 and grade D2 was diagnosed in 48 eyes and 6 eyes, respectively. About 37 eyes were filled with C3F8 and 17 eyes were filled with silicone oil tamponade. The follow-up ranged from 9 to 78 months with a mean of 23 ± 2.2 months. Results: The postoperative visual acuity increased in all the eyes at the final observation. The retinal attachment was achieved in 49 eyes (90.7%) in the primary PPV. Five eyes (9.3%) with the failed retinal attachment finally achieved the attachment after the second procedure. The postoperative complications mainly included temporary intraocular pressure (IOP) elevation, hyphema, and retinal redetachment. Conclusion: Chronic total RRD can be treated via the 23-gauge PPV with a great anatomical and visual prognosis in the young adult. The successful treatment of the chronic total RRD in young adults is mainly associated with the complete dissection of the severe vitreoretinopathy, especially for the epiretinal membrane at the retinal breaks and degenerations and the subretinal proliferation during surgery.

Abstract
Background To evaluate the results of pars plana vitrectomy (PPV) and silicone oil (SO) tamponade with or without encircling scleral band for repair of rhegmatogenous retinal detachment (RRD) in children with buphthalmos. Patients and methods Retrospective comparative nonrandomized interventional case series including consecutive patients who underwent PPV with or without encircling band and SO tamponade for RRD associated with buphthalmos. Results The study included 19 eyes of 19 children. Mean age was 8 years, range 3–16 years. Mean follow-up period was 28 months, range 19–63 months. Globe survival has been achieved in 15 out of 19 eyes (79%). Phthisis bulbi was reported in four cases (22%). Eight patients (42%) achieved ambulatory vision. Most eyes initially achieved anatomical success. Conclusion Despite the poor visual and anatomical results of RRD repair in eyes with buphthalmos, globe survival might be the rationale for surgery in such cases. Globe preservation could avoid the psychological and social consequences of phthisis bulbi in non-operated children.

Abstract
PURPOSE This study describes presenting clinical features and surgical techniques associated with successful repair of pediatric rhegmatogenous retinal detachment (RRD). METHODS This is a retrospective case series which involved 242 cases younger than 18 years with new-onset RRD with descriptive statistics for the full group. Further exclusion established 168 cases that underwent surgery with minimum 3-month follow-up. Comparison of features associated with successful outcomes was analyzed using Chi-squared tests, logistic regression and univariate generalized equation models. RESULTS We measured proportion of patients with BCVA ≤ 1.0 logMAR and/or an increase in final BCVA of 0.3 logMAR with respect to baseline and complete reattachment at final visit; 104 eyes (62%) achieved total reattachment, and 91 eyes (54%) achieved visual success. Absence of macular involvement, subtotal RRD and older age group (13-18) were associated with both success measures. There were higher visual and anatomic success rates with primary scleral buckling (SB, 66% and 79%; OR 9.26 and 11.09) and combined SB plus pars plana vitrectomy (PPV, 54% and 58%; OR 5.67 and 3.94) compared with PPV alone (26% and 17%). CONCLUSION A majority of patients achieved anatomical success with repair. Trauma and myopia were the most common etiologic associations, with myopic cases having better outcomes. Success was more likely in patients with subtotal RRD or uninvolved macula at presentation; previous intraocular surgery was a risk factor for failure. Younger patients had a higher likelihood of worse outcomes. Initial PPV showed a lower rate of success than either SB or combined SB/PPV.

Abstract
Background and Objectives To compare anatomical and visual results of pars plana vitrectomy (PPV) with or without additional encircling band in the management of pediatric traumatic rhegmatogenous retinal detachment (RD) in a tertiary referral center. Methods A retrospective review of children diagnosed with traumatic rhegmatogenous retinal detachment treated by pars plana vitrectomy with or without encircling band. Results One hundred thirty-nine eyes of 139 children diagnosed with traumatic rhegmatogenous retinal detachment. Surgeries were performed between May 2011 and November 2016. Patients were followed up for at least 18 months after last intervention. The included eyes were categorized into two groups. Group A (vitrectomy with additional encircling band) included 72 eyes of 72 children; 58 boys and 14 girls. Group B (vitrectomy without encircling band) included 67 eyes of 67 children; 58 boys and 9 girls. In group A, the mean age was 9.21±3.24. Attached retina was achieved in 61% (44 out of 72 eyes), of which 34 eyes remained attached after silicon oil removal, and 10 eyes remained attached under silicon oil tamponade. Recurrent RD under oil was present in 28 eyes (38.9%). In group B, the mean age was 11.06±3.64. Attached retina was present in 61.2% (41 out of 67 eyes), of which 30 eyes remained attached after oil removal, and 11 eyes remained attached under silicon oil tamponade. Recurrent RD was present in 26 eyes (38.8%). In group A, the final visual acuity (VA) ranged from NLP to 0.5; 58.7% of patients achieved VA more than counting fingers at 1 meter, and 34.6% of patients achieved VA of 0.05 or more. In group B, the final postoperative VA ranged from NLP to 0.9; 16% of patients achieved VA from counting fingers at 1 meter to 0.05, and 29.2% achieved VA of 0.05 or more. Conclusion Although no statistically significant difference between the two groups (combined vitrectomy and encircling band versus vitrectomy alone in pediatric traumatic retinal detachment), it is wise to consider adding encircling band in severe trauma cases.

Abstract
PURPOSE To assess the feasibility and investigate the anatomical and functional outcomes of extended internal limiting membrane (ILM) peeling with pars plana vitrectomy (PPV) for complex pediatric rhegmatogenous retinal detachment (RRD). METHODS This was a retrospective interventional case series where children (≤18 years) with RRD and severe PVR (grade C) were included. All eyes underwent PPV with ILM peeling up to 2-disk diameter beyond the vascular arcades. The main outcome measures were assessment of feasibility of ILM peeling in the pediatric RRD and evaluation of the rate of complete retinal reattachment and corrected-distance visual acuity (CDVA) at the final follow-up. RESULTS A total of 29 eyes (25 patients) were enrolled in this study. ILM peeling performed on these children was not more difficult than in adult eyes. After a mean follow-up of 18 months, the patients achieved final CDVA better than 20/200 in 37.9%. The initial retinal reattachment was 55.2% while the final anatomical success was 86.2%. CONCLUSION Vitrectomy with ILM peeling is technically feasible in pediatric RRD, limiting epiretinal proliferation and achieving favorable anatomical outcomes in cases of complex pediatric RRD. The long-term effects of ILM peeling need further investigation.

Abstract
PURPOSE The purpose of this study was to investigate the etiology and clinical features of nontraumatic rhegmatogenous retinal detachment (RRD) in children. DESIGN Consecutive, cross-sectional study. METHODS In this study, 112 operative eyes of 102 patients ≤18 years of age with nontraumatic RRD were included. Comprehensive ophthalmic examinations were performed in all patients. Genetic testing was performed in 34 patients with hereditary congenital/developmental diseases. The etiology of RRD was analyzed. RESULTS The average age was 12.2 ± 4.5 years (range, 1-18 years). The percentages of male and female patients were 74.5% (76/102) and 25.5% (26/102), respectively. The most common etiologic factors were congenital/developmental anomalies (51/102, 50%), followed by simple myopia (34/102, 33.3%) and previous intraocular surgery (6/102, 5.9%). More than half (31/51, 60.8%) of the patients with congenital/developmental anomalies had familial exudative vitreoretinopathy. Further analysis of the underlying etiologic factors based on age revealed that the most common etiology of RRD in patients ≤12 years of age was congenital/developmental anomalies (28/48, 58.3%); however, simple myopia was the major etiologic factor in patients >12 years of age (27/54, 50%). CONCLUSIONS Congenital/developmental diseases were the most common etiologies of pediatric nontraumatic RRD in China. Familial exudative vitreoretinopathy accounted for most of the congenital/developmental anomalies.

Abstract
PURPOSE To evaluate the clinical characteristics and surgical outcomes of pediatric retinal detachments (RDs) in an Asian population. METHODS Retrospective review of 171 eyes of 152 pediatric patients with rhegmatogenous RD over a 20-year period. RESULTS Myopia was the most common risk factor in our population. At 6 months, primary anatomical success was 60.7%, and overall anatomical success was 86.7%. A total of 46.8% had best-corrected visual acuity of 20/40 or better, and 81.6% had best-corrected visual acuity of 20/200 or better. In primary RDs, high myopia (≤-6D) patients had a lower primary anatomical success compared to patients with moderate myopia (≤-2D) (59.3 vs. 100% P = 0.03). Increasing age and absence of proliferative vitreoretinopathy were associated with anatomical and visual success. Pars plana vitrectomy as the primary procedure was associated with decreased odds of anatomical success. A longer duration of symptoms, cataract, and a larger RD extent were associated with poorer functional outcome. CONCLUSION Myopia was the commonest risk factor for pediatric RD in our population. Good anatomical and functional outcome can be achieved with surgery. Increasing age at presentation and absence of proliferative vitreoretinopathy was associated with anatomical and functional success. High myopia was associated with poorer anatomical and functional outcome.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE The aim of this study was to evaluate and compare the underlying pathologies, demographic and retinal detachment characteristics in pediatric and early adulthood retinal detachment. METHODS Patients with rhegmatogenous, serous, or tractional retinal detachment aged 0-26 years were retrospectively reviewed. The preschool group (n = 4) comprised children aged 0-6 years, the pediatric group (n = 19) comprised children aged 7-16 years, and the early adulthood group (n = 13) aged 17-26 years. Demographic information and retinal detachment characteristics, type of surgery, and intraocular tamponade were analyzed. Postoperatively, the functional outcome, anatomic success, and ocular adverse events were evaluated. Due to the low patient number in the preschool group, statistical analysis was performed for pediatric group and early adulthood group only. RESULTS All causes of retinal detachment were present in the pediatric group, but only rhegmatogenous retinal detachment in the early adulthood group. In both groups, the main type of surgical intervention was pars plana vitrectomy (pediatric group: 52%, early adulthood group: 38%; p = 0.36). The type of intraocular tamponade varied statistically significantly between the groups (p = 0.014). Silicone oil was the main intraocular tamponade in the pediatric group (48%), whereas no tamponade (54%) followed by gas tamponade (46%) in the early adulthood group. Final attachment rate was similar in both groups (pediatric group: 89%, early adulthood group: 100%; p = 0.35). Re-detachment occurred significantly sooner in the pediatric group (1.3 ± 0.3 months) than in the early adulthood group (4.3 ± 1.4 months; p = 0.03). CONCLUSION In pediatric and early adulthood retinal detachment, pars plana vitrectomy appeared as a successful surgical intervention. Re-attachment rate and re-treatment were similar in both groups with a better functional outcome observed in cases of retinal detachment in early adulthood and poorer results in young children.

Eye (Lond) 2020; 34:1909-1915. [PMID: 32080352 PMCID: PMC7608199 DOI: 10.1038/s41433-020-0816-1] [Citation(s) in RCA: 5] [Impact Index Per Article: 1.3] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 05/17/2018] [Revised: 10/23/2019] [Accepted: 12/17/2019] [Indexed: 11/09/2022] Open
Abstract
PURPOSE Historically, atopic dermatitis (AD) is associated with an increased risk of rhegmatogenous retinal detachment (RRD). However, uncertainty remained regarding the effect of AD itself and comorbidities (e.g., allergic diseases, cataract surgery) on RRD occurrence in a large, population-based paediatric population. PATIENTS AND METHODS We analysed the 12-year National Health Insurance Service database (2002-2013) covering the entire Korean population to estimate the association between AD and RRD in people aged under 20 years. RESULTS We identified 3142 RRD patients, and matched 18,852 controls (six controls to each RRD patient); therefore, we included 21,994 peoples under aged 20 years in the analyses. AD was more prevalent in the RRD group (329 patients, 10.47%) than the control group (1043 patients, 5.53%; P < 0.001), and so were severe AD (153 patients [4.87%] and 223 patients [1.18%], respectively; P < 0.001). In conditional logistic regression analysis, AD was associated with RRD (OR, 1.61; 95% CI, 1.93-1.87) even after adjusting for allergic conditions, connective tissue disease, uveitis, and cataract surgery. In addition, severity of AD was associated with an increased risk of RRD (OR for non-severe AD and severe AD, 1.26 [95% CI, 1.05-1.51] and 2.88 [95% CI, 2.25-3.68]). CONCLUSION This study suggests that AD itself is a risk factor of RRD in children by showing the association between AD and RRD occurrence and the biologic gradient even after adjustment for known confounders including allergic conditions, uveitis, and cataract surgery.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Due to the long life expectancy, retinal detachment is a special threat to visual acuity in children and adolescents. This study presents the clinical features of retinal detachment in childhood and adolescence up to the age of 20 years. PATIENTS AND METHODS A cohort was selected comprising 259 patients who suffered from unilateral or bilateral retinal detachment, were not older than 20 years of age at the first diagnosis of the first or only affected eye and had undergone surgery at least once at the Department of Ophthalmology of the University Medical Center of Munich during a period of 18 years (1980-1998). This patient collective was retrospectively analyzed with respect to the clinical features of the first retinal detachment. The group consisting of only one affected eye or the first affected eye (259 eyes) was included. The fellow eyes affected later were excluded (19 eyes). RESULTS The time period between the first visual symptoms and the diagnosis of retinal detachment was on average 9.6 weeks and the most commonly manifested symptom was loss of vision (36.3% of patients). In 40.2% of the patients the detachment was discovered fortuitously. The most frequent presentation (34.0%) was a 2-quadrant retinal detachment and was (sub)total in 27.0% of eyes. Macular detachment was found in 154 eyes (59.5%). The commonest type of retinal break was a tear near the ora serrata (36.1% of all breaks). Giant tears (12.8% of all breaks) occurred preferentially in the area of the ora serrata, round atrophic holes were identified especially in the area of the equator, often in the form of a chain of holes. Breaks most frequently occurred in the inferior temporal quadrant. In 22.4% of retinal detachments no break was found even intraoperatively. A primary proliferative vitreoretinopathy (PVR) of at least stage C was involved in 25.5% of detachments. CONCLUSION In childhood and adolescence a characteristic delay of diagnosis enables a large sized expansion of the retinal detachment with frequent macular involvement and a high proportion with (sub)total detachment and severe primary PVR. Tears in the ora serrata area, giant tears, multiple round atrophic holes in the area of the equator and a high rate of undetectable breaks are the intrinsic characteristics of juvenile retinal detachment.

Abstract
PURPOSE OF REVIEW The literature regarding prophylactic treatment of rhegmatogenous retinal detachment in Stickler syndrome remains controversial. We review major published clinical studies and offer a critical analysis of this subject. SUMMARY Stickler syndrome is a systemic collagenopathy affecting multiple organ systems including the eye, ear, and skeleton. Stickler syndrome is probably the most common cause of genetically determined pediatric rhegmatogenous retinal detachment. Congenital developmental anomalies constitute over half rhegmatogenous detachments (RRD) in patients less than 10 years. The majority are caused by hereditary vitreoretinopathies associated with Stickler syndrome. Sixty percent of patients with Stickler syndrome develop RRD's over their lifetime with possible severe visual loss and subsequent lifelong morbidity. In view of these complications, some have emphasized the importance of prophylactic laser treatment to the retina of patients with Stickler syndrome to reduce the occurrence of and/or prevent future rhegmatogenous retinal detachment, but there appears to be insufficient data to support the absolute benefit of such prophylactic treatment. Guidelines regarding the age at prophylactic treatment as well as type and frequency of intervention are scarce and would benefit from additional clinical investigations.

Abstract
We report a case with multiple recurrences of retinal detachment (RD) with severe proliferative vitreoretinopathy in a 12-year-old child who underwent vitrectomy using a heavy liquid perfluoro-n-octane (PFO) as a short-term postoperative tamponade. He had an encircling band and three vitrectomies with gas, followed by silicone oil tamponade for retinal redetachment prior to the use of PFO as a short-term tamponade. Short-term PFO tamponade was used in which inferior retinal reattachment was considered to be difficult with conventional gas or silicone oil tamponade, especially in regard to proper postoperative posturing. The PFO was left in the eye for 1 week, and the retina remained reattached after removal of the PFO which was replaced with silicone oil tamponade in this case. PFO appears feasible and tolerable as a short-term postoperative tamponade in the management of complex pediatric RD.

Abstract
PURPOSE Pediatric retinal detachments (RDs) are unique in etiology, anatomy, and prognosis compared with the adult population. The mechanisms of pediatric RD include tractional (TRD), rhegmatogenous retinal detachment, traumatic, and other types, such as exudative or hemorrhagic. This study examined visual and anatomical outcomes of pediatric RD undergoing surgical repair at a single university referral center. METHODS A retrospective consecutive case series of patients clinically diagnosed and undergoing surgery for RD between birth and 15 years of age from 2002 to 2013 at a single academic institution. RESULTS A total of 206 patients (231 eyes) were included in this study, of which 25 (12%) had bilateral RD. Of those patients, 67 (29%) had TRD (retinopathy of prematurity, persistent fetal vasculature, or familial exudative vitreoretinopathy), 51 (22%) had rhegmatogenous retinal detachment (myopia, X-linked retinoschisis, or Stickler syndrome), 60 (26%) had traumatic RD, and 53 (23%) were due to other types of RD, such as Coats disease or coloboma. Presenting best-corrected visual acuity better than 20/200 correlated with better final best-corrected visual acuity (P < 0.0001). Anatomical success was strongly correlated with visual acuity outcome (P < 0.00001) and was significantly more likely in rhegmatogenous retinal detachment versus TRD (78% vs. 39%, P < 0.05). The rates of obtaining a final best-corrected visual acuity > 20/200 were poorer in TRD (10%) compared with rhegmatogenous retinal detachment (39%, P < 0.01) or traumatic RD (28%, P < 0.05). CONCLUSION Visual and anatomical outcomes varied among categories of RD. Rhegmatogenous retinal detachments were associated with the best outcomes (anatomical success and globe conservation), whereas TRDs generally had poorer visual and anatomical outcomes.

Abstract
Paediatric retinal detachment (PRD) is an uncommon and challenging disease; it differs from adult detachments in etiology, anatomical characteristics, management and prognosis. PRDs can be particularly challenging, even for the most expert paediatric surgeons due to the higher prevalence of total retinal detachments, late diagnosis and bilateral involvement with respect to those which occur in adulthood. Moreover, the anatomical success, when achieved, is frequently not related to a functional recover. Postsurgical adverse events, refractive errors and amblyopia may additionally undermine the final outcome. Up to date there are few reviews regarding the approach of retinal detachment in children, mainly dealing with rhegmatogenous retinal detachment. In this review, rhegmatogenous, retinopathy of prematurity-related and Coats'-related PRDs were considered. The available literature from the last decades were reviewed and summarized. Epidemiology, etiology and clinical presentation, together with therapeutic approaches and outcomes have been reviewed and discussed.

Abstract
PURPOSE The increasing prevalence of high myopia and its associated pathologies has raised challenges to ophthalmic services. This project aims to explore the onset and progression of myopic pathologies in highly myopic eyes through a prospective research cohort established in South China. METHODS Patients with high myopia (sphere ≤ -6.00 D) visiting the optometric clinic of Zhongshan Ophthalmic Center (ZOC) were invited to participate in the baseline examinations and follow-up visit over a 10-year period. People having secondary myopia, history of any refractive surgery, significant ocular media opacity, or other severe health problems were excluded. The measurements included visual acuity, ocular biometry, visual function, cycloplegic refraction, fundus imaging, ocular shape by MRI, blood tests and questionnaires. RESULTS A total of 890 participants completed the baseline examinations, with a mean age at baseline of 22.7 ± 12.4 years. The mean spherical equivalent at baseline was 10.13 ± 3.65 D, and the mean axial length (AL) was 27.52 ± 1.63 mm. The older subjects tended to have more severe myopia and longer ALs. CONCLUSION The study will provide new knowledge on the relationship between high myopia and pathological changes such as myopic macular degeneration and staphyloma.

Abstract
AIM To report outcomes of pars plana vitrectomy (PPV) in pediatric retinal detachment (RD) with proliferative vitreoretinopathy (PVR), complications, factors influencing the final anatomical and functional results. METHODS Retrospective consecutive case series of 14 eyes. Average postoperative follow-up period was 34 months. RESULTS Mean age of patients was 10 years; eleven patients (79%) were males. The most common etiology was trauma (57%), the second-myopia (36%) and one case of uveitis (7%). At the day of presentation, the best-corrected visual acuity (BCVA) was worse than hand motion (50%); macula was detached in 86% of cases. Simultaneous PPV and phacoemulsification with intraocular lens (IOL) implantation were performed in 12 cases (86%). The most common endotamponade during PPV was silicone oil (93%). Anatomic reattachment was accomplished in 86% of cases. Final BCVA was equal or better than 0.1 in 50% of patients. The postoperative complications were found in 5 eyes (36%). CONCLUSION Complete PPV was allowed for anatomically reattached retina and preserved vision in pediatric complex RD with PVR. However, visual outcomes were not satisfactory. Preserving vision in children with RD is of great importance for their future motor and intellectual development. This trial is registered with ClinicalTrials.gov Identifier: NCT03208205.

Abstract
PURPOSE To evaluate the efficacy and safety of using plasmin-assisted vitrectomy in pediatric patients with vitreoretinal diseases. METHODS We prospectively recruited children aged 16 years or younger who presented with vitreoretinopathies and underwent plasmin-assisted vitrectomy between 2012 and 2013. The main outcome measure was the induction of posterior vitreous detachment (PVD) using a suction power of 200 mm Hg or less during surgery. RESULTS Eleven eyes of 11 patients (mean age: 3.7 years; average follow-up duration: 14.1 months) were included. Of these 11 patients, there were 3 (27%) cases of stage 5 retinopathy of prematurity, 2 (18%) cases of persistent fetal vasculature, 2 (18%) cases of rhegmatogenous retinal detachment, 2 (18%) cases of idiopathic epiretinal membrane, 1 (9%) case of traumatic macular pucker, and 1 (9%) case of traumatic vitreous hemorrhage (9%). PVD was achieved in all cases (100%) during surgery using low suction after plasmin treatment (mean: 150 ± 39 mm Hg; range: 100-200). Overall, anatomical success was achieved in 8 eyes (73%). Visual acuity improved in all 5 (100%) patients for whom vision could be measured at 6 months after the operation. Cataracts were found in 4 eyes (36%), and a rise in transient intraocular pressure was observed in 1 eye (9%). CONCLUSIONS Plasmin-assisted vitrectomy offers an effective and less traumatic intervention for a variety of pediatric vitreoretinal diseases.

Abstract
This is an observational study of fluorescein angiography (FA) in consecutive patients with rhegmatogenous retinal detachment (RRD) in Changhua Christian Hospital to investigate the peripheral retinal vascular patterns in those patients. All patients had their age, sex, axial length (AXL), and refraction status (RF) recorded. According to the findings in FA of the peripheral retina, the eyes were divided into 4 groups: in group 1, there was a ramified pattern of peripheral retinal vasculature with gradual tapering; in group 2, there was an abrupt ending of peripheral vasculature with peripheral non-perfusion; in group 3, there was a curving route of peripheral vasculature forming vascular arcades or anastomosis; and in group 4, the same as in group 3, but with one or more wedge-shaped avascular notches. Comparisons of age, sex, AXL, and RF, association of breaks with lattice degeneration and retinal non-perfusion, surgical procedures utilized, and mean numbers of operations were made among the four groups. Of the 73 eyes studied, there were 13 eyes (17.8%) in group 1, 3 eyes (4.1%) in group 2, 40 eyes (54.8%) in group 3 and 17 eyes (23.3%) in group 4. Significant differences in age, AXL and RF, and association of retinal breaks to non-perfusion were noted among the four groups. Patients in group 1 had older ages, while younger ages were noted in groups 3 and 4. Eyes in group 1 had the shortest average AXL and were least myopic in contrast to the eyes in groups 3 and 4. Association of retinal breaks and retinal non-perfusion was significantly higher in groups 2, 3 and 4 than in group 1. In conclusion, peripheral vascular anomalies are common in cases with RRD. Patients with peripheral non-perfusion tend to be younger, with longer axial length and have the breaks associated with retinal non-perfusion.

Abstract
Purpose. To evaluate the surgical outcome of scleral buckling (SB) in rhegmatogenous retinal detachment (RRD) patients associated with pars planitis. Methods. Retrospective review of RRD patients (32 eyes of pars planitis RRD and 180 eyes of primary RRD) who underwent SB. We compared primary and final anatomical success rates and visual outcomes between two groups. Results. Primary and final anatomical success were achieved in 25 (78.1%) and 31 (96.8%) eyes in the pars planitis RRD group and in 167 eyes (92.7%) and 176 eyes (97.7%) in primary RRD group, respectively. Both groups showed significant visual improvement (p < 0.001) and there were no significant differences in final visual acuity. Pars planitis RRD group was associated with higher rate of postoperative proliferative vitreoretinopathy (PVR) development (12.5% versus 2.8%, p = 0.031). Pars planitis and high myopia were significant preoperative risk factors and pseudophakia was borderline risk for primary anatomical failure after adjusting for various clinical factors. Conclusions. Pars planitis associated RRD showed inferior primary anatomical outcome after SB due to postoperative PVR development. However, final anatomical and visual outcomes were favorable. RRD cases associated with pars planitis, high myopia, and pseudophakia might benefit from different surgical approaches, such as combined vitrectomy and SB.

Abstract
PURPOSE To evaluate the anatomical outcomes of primary scleral buckling (SB) procedures for pediatric rhegmatogenous retinal detachments. METHODS Retrospective consecutive case series. One hundred and four eyes of 99 consecutive nonselected pediatric patients undergoing primary SB were identified. Baseline factors recorded were demographics, presenting clinical examination findings, previous ocular surgery, predisposing factors. Intraoperative factors recorded were the type of buckle, number and distribution of retinal breaks, number of retinal quadrants detached, macular status (involved vs. uninvolved), the use of subretinal fluid drainage, and surgical complications. Anatomical reattachment rate at last follow-up. Subgroup analysis was carried out to identify any predisposing factors for failure of primary surgery, effect of age on outcome, intraoperative pathology, effect of posterior versus anterior SB, and redetachment and secondary-procedure complications specific to SB. RESULTS The initial surgery was segmental SB alone in 87 eyes (83.6%). Retinal reattachment was achieved with 1 operation in 73% (76 of 104 eyes). Of the 28 cases that redetached, 14 eyes underwent a repeat SB procedure (success rate of this second operation: 85.7% [12 of 14 eyes]), 13 eyes underwent vitrectomy (success rate of this second operation: 38.4% [5 of 13 eyes]), and 1 case was not reoperated. Overall, the final success rate was 94% (98 of 104 eyes). Factors associated with a statistically significant increased risk of failure included more than one break; three or more quadrants of detachment; horseshoe tears; no breaks seen on preoperative examination; Stickler syndrome. CONCLUSION In selected cases, primary SB is an effective treatment for pediatric, rhegmatogenous retinal detachment.

Abstract
The objective of this study was to analyze the characteristics and surgical results of pediatric rhegmatogenous retinal detachment (RRD). The medical records of 30 eyes of 29 patients younger than 18 years of age who underwent vitreoretinal surgery due to RRD were analyzed. The gender, age, laterality, duration of presenting symptom, etiology, ocular and systemic co-morbidities, type of breaks, lens status, presence of proliferative vitreoretinopathy (PVR) and its grade, initial and final best-corrected visual acuities (BCVAs), surgical management, number of operations, duration of follow-up, functional and anatomical success, and complications were noted. As the most common predisposing factors were trauma (trauma group) and myopia (myopia group), the data of these patients were further analyzed. The mean age was 12.6 ± 3.0 years. There were 23 male (79.3 %) and 6 female (20.6 %) subjects. The most common etiologic factors were high myopia (40 %) and trauma (36.6 %). Functional success rate was 70 % (n = 21) after the primary surgeries and was 80 % (n = 24) after the secondary surgeries. There were no significant differences between the trauma and myopia groups regarding the presence of total retinal detachment, macula-off status, and the rate of PVR worse than grade C. Although the preoperative mean BCVA and the initial and final retinal reattachment rates of the groups were statistically similar, trauma group had significantly higher postoperative mean BCVA compared to myopia group (p = 0.013). Myopia and trauma were the most common etiologic factors for RRD in children. The visual outcomes of trauma-associated RRD were better than those of myopia-associated RRD.

Abstract
PURPOSE To evaluate the aetiology, clinical features, and surgical outcomes of paediatric rhegmatogenous retinal detachments (RRD) in Hong Kong.Patients and methodsThis is a retrospective consecutive case series of all patients aged 18 or under who underwent primary retinal detachment repair in the Hong Kong Eye Hospital from January 2000 to December 2012.ResultsForty-nine eyes of 47 patients were included. The mean age was 14, and the mean follow-up duration was 6.2 years. The most common aetiology for RRD was idiopathic (28.6%), followed by high myopia (24.5%), atopic dermatitis (AD) (18.4%), congenital and developmental abnormalities (16.3%), trauma (8.2%), and intraocular inflammation (4.1%). The mean preoperative visual acuity was LogMAR 1.0±0.8 (Snellen equivalent 6/60). The primary anatomical success rate in this series was 65.3%, and the final anatomical success rate was 85.7%. The mean postoperative visual acuity was LogMAR 0.9±1.2 (Snellen equivalent 6/48). Patients with congenital and developmental abnormalities or AD had worse anatomical and functional outcomes than patients who had no predisposing factor or high myopia. CONCLUSIONS The primary and overall anatomical success rates in our series were comparable with existing literature. High myopia is the most commonly identifiable risk factor in Hong Kong and AD is associated with a higher re-detachment rates and a poor visual outcome.

Abstract
Purpose To assess the treatment of pediatric patients with rhegmatogenous retinal detachment (RRD) by scleral buckling with chandelier illumination. Methods Three eyes were treated in three patients, healthy boys aged 7 years, 12 years, and 11 years, with RRD, macular involvement, and small retinal holes, of which two were preoperatively undetectable. Conventional scleral buckling with cryoretinopexy was performed under the contact lens for vitreous surgery or noncontact wide-angle viewing system using 27-gauge twin chandelier illumination. Results The only known predisposing factor for retinal detachment was myopia stronger than 3 D with lattice retinal degeneration in two of the three patients. Retinal reattachment was achieved in all cases without intra- or postoperative complications. However, visual recovery was limited in one of the three patients. Conclusion Scleral buckling with chandelier illumination is effective for pediatric RRD, especially if the retinal hole is difficult to detect preoperatively. However, visual recovery was sometimes limited because of macular involvement due to late diagnosis, which is one of the characteristic features of pediatric RRD.

Abstract
Since the first vitrectomy surgery was used for treatment of vitreoretinal diseases, surgical techniques and instrumentation have been rapidly improved in the past decades. However, there are complicated vitreoretinal diseases that cannot be successfully treated, even with state-of-the-art surgeries. The outcomes of some complicated cases are still poor due to different reasons and debates still remain in some areas regarding what are the best treatments. There is still a lack of full understanding on many complicated vitreoretinal diseases, such as the molecular basis of proliferative vitreoretinopathy (PVR), the role of scleral buckling (SB) in the management of rhegmatogenous retinal detachment (RRD), the optimal surgical consideration for pediatric RD, and the possibility of surgical management for various retinal degenerations and congenital retinal anomalies. This review discusses the current understandings of some complicated vitreoretinal diseases.

Abstract
PURPOSE To study the anatomical and visual outcomes and prognostic factors that may predict the outcomes of rhegmatogenous retinal detachment (RRD) in children. METHODS A retrospective chart review was performed for patients 16 years of age or younger who underwent retinal reattachment surgery for RRD at the King Abdulaziz University Hospital from 1996 to 2005 and the King Khalid Eye Specialist Hospital from 2002 to 2006, Riyadh, Saudi Arabia. Good visual outcome was defined as ≥20/200. The association between two categorical variables was evaluated with the Chi-squared test or the exact test, as appropriate. Predictors for RRD and good final visual acuity were identified by conducting stepwise logistic regression analysis. P < 0.05 was statistically significant. RESULTS The study population comprised 148 patients (166 eyes). There were 104 (70%) males and 44 (30%) females. Mean age at presentation was 8.33 ± 3.26 years (range 1.5-16 years). The retina was reattached after one surgical procedure in 106 (63.8%) eyes and reattached in 130 (78.3%) eyes after multiple surgeries. Factors predicting recurrence after the first surgery were myopia (P = 0.028), proliferative vitreoretinopathy (PVR) at presentation (P = 0.024), and total retinal detachment (P = 0.032). Good final visual outcome was achieved in 60 (44.4%) eyes. Predictors of good visual acuity were: good visual acuity at presentation (P < 0.001); absence of PVR at presentation (P < 0.001); one quadrant of retinal detachment (P = 0.0024); macula on (P = 0.0107); absence of primary repair of a ruptured globe (P = 0.0059); no pars plana vitrectomy (PPV) (P = 0.0123); clear phakic lens at follow-up (P < 0.001); absence of postoperative complications (P < 0.001); absence of recurrence of RRD (P < 0.001); and absence of epiretinal membrane (P = 0.0088). Logistic regression analysis indicated that recurrence of RRD was associated with myopia and previous congenital cataract surgery; good final visual outcome was associated with macula on detachment and poor visual outcome was associated with recurrence of RRD and occurrence of postoperative complications and previous repair of a ruptured globe. CONCLUSION RRD in children is usually associated with a predisposing factor, a high rate of PVR, and total retinal detachment. Despite late diagnosis and the presence of PVR, favorable anatomical and visual outcomes can be achieved.

Abstract
Purpose To describe the characteristics and surgical outcomes of pediatric rhegmatogenous retinal detachment. Methods A retrospective study of pediatric patients (15 years old or younger) who had undergone primary surgery for rhegmatogenous retinal detachment was conducted. Patients were divided into five groups according to the predisposing factors: trauma (group 1), myopia (group 2), atopic dermatitis (group 3), congenital or developmental anomalies (group 4), and others (group 5). Results A total of 48 eyes of 44 patients were included in this study. There were 18 eyes (37.5%) in group 1, twelve eyes (25.0%) in group 2, six eyes (12.5%) in group 3, five eyes (10.4%) in group 4, and seven eyes (14.6%) in group 5. The initial retinal reattachment rate was 89% in group 1, 100% in group 2, 83% in group 3, 20% in group 4, and 86% in group 5 (P = 0.002). The final retinal reattachment rate was 100% in group 1, 100% in group 2, 100% in group 3, 80% in group 4, and 86% in group 5 (P = 0.16). The frequency of visual acuity of 0.1 or better after surgery was 100% in group 1, 92% in group 2, 83% in group 3, 40% in group 4, and 71% in group 5 (P = 0.01). Conclusion The overall surgical outcome was successful, but the patients in group 4 had the lowest initial reattachment rate and the worst visual prognosis.

Abstract
Pediatric rhegmatogenous retinal detachments are rare, accounting for less than ten percent of all rhegmatogenous retinal detachments. While most retinal detachments in the adult population are related to posterior vitreous detachment, pediatric retinal detachment are often related to trauma or an underlying congenital abnormalities or genetic syndrome. The anatomy of pediatric eyes, the often late presentation of the disease, and the high incidence of bilateral pathology in children all pose significant challenges in the management of these patients. We discuss the epidemiology of pediatric rhegmatogenous retinal detachment, review the genetic syndromes associated with a high incidence of retinal detachment, and examine other common causes of retinal detachment in this age group. We then outline an approach to evaluation and management and describe the expected outcomes of repair of retinal detachment in the pediatric population.
