Retinal detachment in focal dermal hypoplasia.

PURPOSE: Focal dermal hypoplasia is a systemic disease that includes well recognized ocular abnormalities. Retinal detachment has not previously been reported as a part of this syndrome. AIM: To report a case of focal dermal hypoplasia with an associated retinal detachment. METHODS: Single case report of a child with a colobomatous retinal detachment and the focal dermal hypoplasia syndrome. CONCLUSIONS: Retinal detachments may occur as part of the focal dermal hypoplasia syndrome. Expanding knowledge of this syndrome may help ophthalmologists diagnose this rare condition.
