Juvenile retinal detachment.
Among the total of 537 patients treated for retinal detachment 27 (5.02%) were under the age of 20. In 44.44 percent of the cases, there was a history of trauma. In 58.33% of the fellow eyes in this group of patients, retinal pathology was found. This pathology is considered to be a predisposing factor and trauma itself is only a trigger in causing retinal detachment.
