Roller Coasters and Retinal Detachment: Case Series and Review of Acceleration-Deceleration Retinal Injury. | LitMetric

AI Article Synopsis

  • The text discusses a possible link between rapid acceleration from activities like roller coaster riding and retinal detachment, based on anecdotal and limited evidence.
  • Two case studies are presented: a 24-year-old woman with a family history of retinal issues and a 25-year-old woman with high myopia, both experiencing retinal detachment after riding roller coasters.
  • The conclusion suggests that while rapid forces may cause retinal detachment, structural predispositions, such as high myopia or family history, are likely necessary for such injuries to occur.

Article Abstract

Introduction: Anecdotal reports and limited reports suggest a possible link between activities involving rapid acceleration and retinal detachment. We present two novel such cases and review existing literature to investigate the plausibility of this association and delineate in what populations such an association may be more likely.

Case Presentation: We report 2 cases of retinal detachment following roller coaster riding. The first, a 24-year-old woman with a family history of retinal detachment, presented with floaters after consecutive rides and was found to have an inferior temporal macula-sparing retinal detachment with associated retinal breaks. The second case, a 25-year-old female with a history of high myopia, presented with visual field defect and was found to have a macula-on retinal detachment with an accompanying tear at the edge of an area of lattice degeneration. Both were successfully treated with pneumatic retinopexy followed by laser retinopexy.

Conclusion: Rapid acceleration/deceleration forces, such as those experienced on roller coasters, could potentially lead to retinal detachment. Structural predisposition is likely necessary for acceleration/deceleration injury to lead to retinal detachment, with all known cases having risk factors, including high myopia and positive family history. These same forces in eyes without structural predisposition have resulted in hemorrhage, but not detachment.
