Transient tractional retinal detachment in an eye with retinitis pigmentosa

Clin Ophthalmol. 2010 Oct 5:4:1115-8. doi: 10.2147/OPTH.S13885.

Abstract

We present a case of retinitis pigmentosa with vitreoretinal traction-associated retinal detachment. The retinal detachment was detected in the nasal periphery. No retinal breaks and no active vascular leakage were observed by fundus scopy and fluorescein angiography, respectively. However, 8 months later, the tractional retinal detachment was spontaneously resolved with posterior vitreous detachment.

Keywords: retinal detachment; retinitis pigmentosa; vitreoretinal traction.
