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.

Leopard spot retinopathy represents the initial sign of rhegmatogenous retinal detachment in children: a report of two cases.
BMC Ophthalmol

Department of Ophthalmology, The Second Hospital of Hebei Medical University, Shijiazhuang, 050000, Hebei Province, China.
Background: Leopard spots can appear in a variety of diseases; however, they are extremely rare in children with rhegmatogenous retinal detachment. This study presents two such rare cases in which leopard spot retinopathy was the initial manifestation of rhegmatogenous retinal detachment.
Case Presentation: Case 1 involved a 4-year-old boy had previously been diagnosed with left eye uveitis and received systemic steroid therapy at a local hospital, but symptoms persisted.

Purpose: To describe vascular anomalies and nonperfusion areas (NPAs) of stage 4 familial exudative vitreoretinopathy (FEVR) with radial retinal folds (RFs) and analyze their potential clinical significance.
Methods: Retinal detachment (RD) could exceed the RFs due to exudative, rhegmatogenous, or tractional factors, which we could call secondary RD. Fluorescein fundus angiography (FFA) and risk factors for progression to secondary RD of pediatric stage 4 FEVR patients with radial RFs were respectively explored.
Fibrin-glue-assisted retinopexy for coloboma-associated retinal detachment.

Background: Retinal detachment (RD) is common (23%-40%) in eyes with uveal coloboma due to early vitreous syneresis, inherent defects at the locus minoris resistentiae, and breaks in intercalary membrane (ICM).[1] Managing eyes with coloboma RD is difficult due to complexity of accessing and repairing retinal breaks. In RD surgeries, tamponade agents are used to provide surface tension across retinal breaks to prevent further fluid flow into the subretinal space until the effect of retinopexy is permanent.

Article Synopsis
- * The study analyzed 89 eyes from 70 children treated for RRD at King Abdul-Aziz University Hospital over an 11-year period, noting that many children had pre-existing ocular conditions.
- * While the majority of surgical interventions resulted in successful anatomical outcomes, visual improvements were less consistent, often hampered by corneal complications and other associated ocular issues.
