Abstract
Linear scleroderma is a characteristic form of scleroderma that typically affects children. Ocular manifestations may be present, especially when the frontoparietal area of the head is affected. We present the case of a 5-year-old boy with craniofacial linear scleroderma (“en coup de sabre”) who developed exudative retinal detachment. Angiographic and neuroimaging findings are presented, and the importance of regular fundus examination is highlighted.
