Summary
Scleral buckling alone successfully treated a pediatric case of chronic rhegmatogenous retinal detachment (RRD) with a macular hole. This approach achieved retinal reattachment and macular hole closure, improving vision.
Area of Science:
- Ophthalmology
- Retinal Surgery
- Pediatric Ophthalmology
Background:
- Chronic rhegmatogenous retinal detachment (RRD) in children presents unique management challenges.
- Concomitant full-thickness macular holes (FTMH) complicate RRD treatment, potentially impacting visual outcomes.
- Pediatric RRD with FTMH often requires complex surgical approaches.
