Area of Science:

Ophthalmology
Retinal Surgery

Background:

Traction retinal detachment (TRD) can occur secondary to various ocular conditions.
Persistent hyaloid artery is a rare congenital anomaly that can be associated with retinal abnormalities.

Observation:

An 11-year-old female presented with acquired traction retinal detachment.
The detachment was associated with a persistent hyaloid artery.

Findings:

The patient underwent intravitreous surgical technique combined with scleral buckling.
Successful retinal reattachment was achieved postoperatively.

Implications:

This surgical approach demonstrates efficacy in managing TRD in pediatric patients.
The findings highlight the importance of considering surgical intervention for TRD associated with persistent hyaloid.
