Abstract
• A 5-week-old male Infant had small stature, microphthalmia, bilateral rhegmatogenous retinal detachments, ventricular septal defect, and fundus lesions suggestive of previous chorioretinitis. Diagnostic workup failed to disclose a cause of the intraocular disorder. Bilateral retinal detachment surgery, performed when the boy was 2 and 3 months of age, has appeared successful 12 months postoperatively. This may be a description of the youngest patient with rhegmatogenous retinal detachments that were subsequently repaired. (Arch Ophthalmol 95:1774-1776, 1977)
