Management and surgical outcomes of pediatric retinal detachment associated with familial exudative vitreoretinopathy - Our experience at a tertiary care ophthalmic center in North India.

ABSTRACT:

Purpose

To report the clinical profile, management, and long-term anatomical and visual acuity (VA) outcomes of pediatric macula-off rhegmatogenous retinal detachment (RRD) secondary to familial exudative vitreoretinopathy (FEVR).

Methods

This was a prospective, interventional study of 14 eyes of 13 children aged ≤18 years with macula-off FEVR-RRD. The primary outcomes were anatomical reattachment and VA changes.

Results

The mean (±SD) age of the study population was 12.14 (±3.23) years (range 6-18 years) with a male preponderance (M:F - 10:3). Of the 14 eyes, 10 underwent vitrectomy with silicone oil injection, while four underwent scleral buckling surgery. Significant improvement in VA was noted at a mean (±SD) follow-up duration of 3.32 (±1.34) years, with the mean
