Intraocular fibrous proliferation as an incisional complication in pars plana vitrectomy

Abstract

We enucleated an eye of a 39-year-old white man four weeks after partial pars plana vitrectomy was carried out for removal of an amagnetic foreign body which failed. Vitreous clouding complicated the perforating injury. Histological findings included massive ingrowth of fibrous tissue into the vitreous space and along preretinal planes, total retinal detachment with degenerations, and localized proliferations of the pigmentary epithelium. All proliferations originated at the site of the sclerotomy incision.
