Abstract

Posterior segment trauma in children has particular clinical features and carries unique implications unlike those in adults. The critical history associated with the injury may be difficult to obtain, and the examination of the patient is almost always challenging. In addition, the response of the eye to injury and the visual outcome differ from older patients because of the adherence of the posterior hyaloid and the risk of amblyopia. A basic understanding of these challenges can improve the outcome of intervention.
