[Non-traumatic retinal detachment in children under 15 years of age]. 1989

C L Monin, and Y Le Mer, and G Van Effenterre, and N Ammar

In less than fifteen years old children, thirty nine non traumatic retinal detachments are reported. Their poor prognosis is attributed to the late diagnosis, the early age occurrence, the combination with an ocular pathology (congenital aphakia--myopia--hereditary vitreoretinal degeneration) present on the first examination. Prophylaxis of the fellow eye is recommended in order to avoid the alarming occurrence of bilateral detachment.
