Retinal detachment is visually impairing in children and adults. The treatment for retinal detachment is challenging, especially in children. There are many etiologies for retinal detachment such as retinal detachment due to retinal tear (rhegmatogenous), tractional retinal detachment and exudative detachment. It is crucial to understand retinal detachment etiology in the pediatric population as it affects treatment decisions. After the diagnosis of retinal detachment in a child, and its etiology, a long process of surgical treatment and recovery begins. The process may include more than one surgery, and therefore close follow-up is very important. Even with anatomic success, functional results are worse with children. The purpose of this article is to review the common etiologies for retinal detachment in children and present case studies that were treated in our department.

While affecting the visual development process, eoHM can cause a series of complications such as retinal rupture and detachment, and posterior scleral staphyloma, which not only damage the visual function, but also delay the overall development of children. Therefore, early prevention, early diagnosis, timely treatment, and long-term management are crucial.
