Tractional Retinal Detachment Secondary to CHRPE-Associated Hamartoma With Macular Involvement: A Case Report.

Abstract

Retinal hamartomas associated with hypertrophy of the retinal pigment epithelium are often linked to phakomatoses. This case report presents a 6-year-old patient with vision loss due to tractional rhegmatogenous retinal detachment. Surgical intervention (vitrectomy) improved retinal architecture and visual acuity, although significant baseline visual acuity loss persisted, suggesting that early surgery may prevent complications and optimize outcomes.
