Abstract
Atopic dermatitis is a chronic and relapsing inflammatory skin disorder associated with peak prevalence among infants and children. Atopic dermatitis has been reported to be associated with a variety of ocular complications such as blepharitis; keratoconjunctivitis; keratoconus; superficial punctate keratitis; uveitis; cataract; retinal break; and retinal detachment. Among these; cataract and retinal detachment are the most serious complications that may cause visual disturbance. To date; several possible theories regarding the pathogenesis of retinal detachment in atopic dermatitis have been proposed. Among them; trauma has been considered the major cause of retinal detachment by several authors. Herein we present a rare case of atopic dermatitis with bilateral retinal detachment.
