There is a multitude of etiologies for pediatric retinal detachments. These may be tractional, exudative, hemorrhagic, or rhegmatogenous. Rhegmatogenous retinal detachments may be traumatic in etiology or be secondary to a preexisting hereditary vitreoretinopathy, such as Stickler syndrome. Children often present with chronic retinal detachments with proliferative vitreoretinopathy (preretinal membranes, fixed folds, star folds, subretinal bands). Optical coherence tomography (OCT) may help distinguish retinal detachment from retinoschisis. OCT may also help identify preretinal membranes and subretinal membranes and determine the status of the posterior hyaloid.
