[Clinical conditions and prognosis of retinal detachment in retolental fibroplasia].

In this report two groups of infants with retrolental fibroplasia and retinal detachment are described according to the Tasman classification. In our case report the retinal detachment developed in a 9-year-old girl. The following diagnosis was given when the retina was in the process of detaching: cicatricial retrolental fibroplasia (Owens II-III) with excessive myopia. After episcleral buckling procedure (polyviol, Custodis method) the retina reattached. Follow-up examinations are important because when prompt diagnosis of retinal detachment is made, the involved eye can often be salvaged by surgery.
