abstract="PURPOSE: To present a case of retinal detachment caused by a Nerf-gun shot in a pediatric patient. <br><br>METHODS: Single case report. <br><br>RESULTS: A 16-year-old white man presented with a nasal visual field deficit and floaters in his left eye for 1 month after being shot with a foam-ball Nerf gun by a friend. Fundus examination revealed a midperipheral retinal dialysis extending from 1 to 4:30 clock hours with a macula-on retinal detachment and superficial proliferative vitreoretinopathy. He underwent successful 25-gauge pars plana vitrectomy with membrane peel, retinectomy, injection of perfluoron, endolaser, and use of 1,000 centistoke silicone oil for tamponade. <br><br>CONCLUSION: This is the first reported case of traumatic retinal detachment secondary to a Nerf-gun shot.<p /> <p>Language: en</p>",
