In this study, we aim to review the clinical features, and surgical and visual outcomes of pediatric RRD in a tertiary referral center. Materials and Methods: This is a retrospective study using the review of charts for all patients who presented to King Abdul-Aziz University Hospital, Riyadh, Saudi Arabia, from 2005 to 2016. This study included patients 18 years old or younger, had undergone surgical repairs for RRD, and were followed up for 1 year or more. Results: Eighty-nine eyes of 70 children who underwent surgical repair for RRD were included in the current retrospective study. A previous history of intraocular surgeries was present in 31.5%. The majority of cases had known ocular disease or syndromes (n = 58, 65.2%). The majority of eyes which had a primary surgical intervention achieved anatomical success (n = 88). Corneal complications accounted for the majority of complications following primary and secondary surgical interventions. Forty-two percent of the eyes had vision better than 20\/200, while thirty-five percent had vision of hand motion or worse. Conclusions: In conclusion, despite the variability in causes of RRD in children, successful anatomical outcomes can be achieved with the proper surgical approach. Visual outcomes are less predictable due to other ocular complications.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.3390\/medicina60091442","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2024,9,3]],"date-time":"2024-09-03T12:22:33Z","timestamp":1725366153000},"page":"1442","update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.3390\/mdpi_crossmark_policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":2,"title":["Clinical Presentations and Outcomes of Pediatric Rhegmatogenous Retinal Detachment: 11 Years\u2019 Experience at a Tertiary Eye Center"],"prefix":"10.3390","volume":"60","author":[{"given":"Omar","family":"Alabbasi","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"Vitreoretinal Division, King Khalid Eye Specialist Hospital, Riyadh 12329, Saudi Arabia"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0001-6350-7464","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Moustafa S.","family":"Magliyah","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Vitreoretinal Division, King Khalid Eye Specialist Hospital, Riyadh 12329, Saudi Arabia"},{"name":"Ophthalmology Department, Prince Mohammed Medical City, Sakaka 72345, Saudi Arabia"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Hani Basher","family":"Albalawi","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Ophthalmology Division, Department of Surgery, Faculty of Medicine, University of Tabuk, Tabuk 47512, Saudi Arabia"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Heba M.","family":"Alsharif","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Anterior Segment Division, King Khalid Eye Specialist Hospital, Riyadh 12329, Saudi Arabia"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Eman M.","family":"Alsharif","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Ophthalmology Department, Prince Noura Bint Abdul Rahman University, Riyadh 11564, Saudi Arabia"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Ahmed","family":"Abu El-Asrar","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Ophthalmology Department, Faculty of Medicine, King Saud University, Riyadh 11451, Saudi Arabia"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]}],"member":"1968","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2024,9,3]]},"reference":[{"key":"ref_1","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"411","DOI":"10.1038\/sj.eye.6700197","article-title":"Pathology and pathogenesis of retinal detachment","volume":"16","author":"Ghazi","year":"2002","journal-title":"Eye"},{"key":"ref_2","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"548","DOI":"10.1111\/aos.13113","article-title":"Epidemiologic characteristics of retinal detachment surgery at a specialized unit in Denmark","volume":"94","author":"Poulsen","year":"2016","journal-title":"Acta Ophthalmol."},{"key":"ref_3","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"779","DOI":"10.1055\/s-2008-1027515","article-title":"Retinal detachment in children: Differential diagnosis and current therapy","volume":"225","author":"Meier","year":"2008","journal-title":"Klin.
