Retrospective Survey of Surgical Outcomes in Rhegmatogenous Retinal Detachments Associated With Atopic Dermatitis

Characteristics and Outcomes of Retinal Detachment Associated With Atopic Dermatitis: A Retrospective Case Series

“…Consistent with prior literature, we found RD associated with AD to be complicated, with a high incidence of giant retinal tears, 3,8 PVR, 6,8 and bilateral disease. 6 One patient had a retinal dialysis without history of trauma in keeping with previous reports that suggest a high incidence of anterior breaks and retinal dialysis.…”

Cataract and Retinal Detachment in Patients with Severe Atopic Dermatitis Who Were Withdrawn from the Use of Topical Corticosteroid

“…Some ophthalmologists have already pointed out that genesis of RD with AD has a mechanism similar to that of traumatic retinal detachment (5,(9)(10)(11)(12)(13)(14). In our observation, patients who habitually tapped or rubbed their faces strongly to calm their itching tended to show statistically significantly more progress toward cataract or RD [cataract: p (X2) <0.05, RD: P (X2) <0.025].…”

Retinal Detachment Associated With Atopic Dermatitis

“…The aqueous humor of patients with atopic dermatitis was found to have higher levels of an eosinophilic granule, major basic protein, and inflammatory cytokines, IL-8 and CCL-2 5,9. Though none of our patients were noted to have anterior or posterior uveitis, inflammation in the anterior chamber and vitreous has been reported in up to 60% of atopic dermatitis patients 1…”
