Objective To investigate the clinical characteristics and surgical management of the familial exudative vitreoretinopathy (FEVR)-associated rhegmatogenous retinal detachment (RRD). Methods Retrospective noncomparative case series. Thirty-three eye of 32 patients were diagnosed FEVR-associated RRD by Fluorescein fundus angiography. There were 26 males and 6 females. The male to female ratio is 4.3:1 with an average age of 19.35±8.83 years. The detection of best corrected visual acuity (BCVA), refraction status, fundus photograph and fluorescein fundus angiography(FFA)were underwent in all patients. FEVR was confirmedby FFA and positive family history. The BCVA, refraction status, morphology of retinal detachment, location, size and shape of retinal hole, presence and grade of proliferative vitreoretinopathy (PVR), and subretinal proliferation were recorded. Results As for the refractive status, the scope of refraction was +2.0 D to-13.0 D andthe BCVA were range from light perception to 0.7. Atrophy holes which located at the temporal half were responsible for retinal detachment in all cases. Besides, horseshoe tears were noted in 6 eyes (18.18%), while macular tears were noted in 2 eyes of RRD (6.06%). The PVR greater than stage C2 was noticed in 10 eyes (30.30%), while subretinal proliferation was presented in 23 eyes (69.70%). Conclusions Male predominance, juvenile onset and associated with moderate to high myopia are the main characteristics in FEVR-associated RRD. Atrophy holes at the temporal half and the subretinal proliferations were most commonly in FEVR-associated RRD. Detailed fuduns and FFA examination of the fellow eye should be undergone to avoid misdiagnosis.
