| Summary: |
Purpose: To assess
chosen epidemiological features (risk factors) of
rhegmatogenous retinal detachment in young patients.
Material and methods: Retrospective evaluation of
patients aged up to 18 years with rhegmatogenous retinal
detachment hospitalized in the Department of
Ophthalmology, University of Medical Sciences of
Bydgoszcz – in the period between 1993-2003. Studied
group comprised 37 patients aged from 2 to 18 years.
Excluded were the patients with retinopathy of
prematurity.
Results: Mean age in the group studied was 12,6
(SD=3,6) years, over 80% were male. In 88,9% at least
one risk factor was found – the most common of which was
history of trauma (52,7%). Myopia was diagnosed in 27,7%
of cases, in 8,3% patients cataract surgery had been
performed prior to retinal detachment. In 8,3% of
patients in group studied revealed congenital structural
abnormalities. One patient (2,8%) had toxocariasis.
Bilateral retinal detachment occurred also in one
patient. The macula was detached in 75% and total
retinal detachment was present in 38,8% of cases.
Conclusions: The most common risk factor in the
group studied was history of nonsurgical trauma.
Prevalence of macular detachment was noted. |
