    Area of Science:

    • Ophthalmology
    • Pediatric Medicine
    • Genetics

    Background:

    • Retinal detachment is uncommon in pediatric populations.
    • It frequently co-occurs with significant ocular abnormalities.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To investigate the characteristics of retinal detachment in children.
    • To identify associated ocular and systemic conditions.
    • To assess treatment difficulties, particularly those related to giant retinal breaks.

    Main Methods:

    • Retrospective analysis of over 25 pediatric patients diagnosed with retinal detachment.
    • Clinical data review focusing on age, ocular comorbidities, systemic features, and surgical outcomes.

    Main Results:

    • Congenital myopia was the most frequent ocular complication.
    • Facial abnormalities and features of familial/inherited conditions were commonly observed.
    • A high incidence of giant retinal breaks was noted, complicating management.

    Conclusions:

    • Pediatric retinal detachment often presents with complex associated conditions, including congenital myopia and inherited disorders.
    • The high prevalence of giant retinal breaks in this cohort presents considerable therapeutic challenges.
