    This case study describes the youngest infant diagnosed with rhegmatogenous retinal detachments. Surgical repair was successful, offering hope for similar pediatric cases.

    Area of Science:

    • Ophthalmology
    • Pediatrics
    • Genetics

    Background:

    • Rhegmatogenous retinal detachment (RRD) is a serious condition affecting vision.
    • Early diagnosis and intervention are crucial, especially in infants.
    • Congenital anomalies can increase the risk of ocular disorders.

    Observation:

    • A 5-week-old infant presented with small stature, microphthalmia, and bilateral RRD.
    • Fundus lesions suggested prior chorioretinitis, but the intraocular disorder's cause remained elusive.
    • The infant also had a ventricular septal defect.

    Findings:

    • Bilateral RRD surgery was performed at 2 and 3 months of age.
    • Postoperative follow-up at 12 months indicated successful surgical outcomes.
    • This represents a potentially novel case of the youngest patient with RRD undergoing successful repair.

    Implications:

    • This case highlights the possibility of successful surgical repair of RRD in extremely young infants.
    • It underscores the importance of comprehensive evaluation in infants with congenital anomalies and ocular findings.
    • Further research may elucidate the underlying causes and optimal management strategies for RRD in this age group.
