Viral retinitis of which incidence is 0.63/1000000 per year, is necrotizing, vaso-occlusive retinopathy. In practice, 90 % of cases are acute retinal necrosis in which etiological agents are Varicella-Zoster Virus and Herpes Simplex Virus and Cytomegalovirus retinitis. 65 % of patients with viral retinitis develop a retinal detachment. Retinal detachment due to viral retinitis is almost-always rhegmatogenous and tractional and associated with proliferative vitreoretinopathy. Pars plana vitrectomy combined with silicone oil injection is the most commonly used techniques for the treatment of retinal detachment associated with viral retinitis. Optic atrophy, chronic cystoid macular edema, epiretinal membrane, proliferative vitreoretinopathy, and hypotony are the most commonly seen complications that are limiting functional improvement.

Purpose: To report a case of Staphylococcus epidermidis endophthalmitis following 27-gauge pars plana vitrectomy for symptomatic vitreous floaters. Methods: The clinical course and imaging findings, including fundus optomap, and spectral domain optical coherence tomography of a 24-year-old male patient were documented. Results: The patient, with a preoperative best-corrected visual acuity (BCVA) of 1.0, developed endophthalmitis following 27-gauge pars plana vitrectomy for symptomatic vitreous floaters. After a series of treatments, including emergent vitreous tap and silicone oil injection, antibiotic treatment, and silicone oil removal, the patient regained a BCVA of 0.6. Conclusion: Although rare, the potential risk of endophthalmitis should be explicitly discussed with patients considering surgical intervention for vitreous floaters.

Abstract Background To evaluate the effectiveness of face up position (FUP) following pars plana vitrectomy (PPV) and silicone oil injection in cases of rhegmatogenous retinal detachment (RRD) with multiple peripheral and inferior breaks. Method Thirty-two eyes of 32 patients with RRD due to multiple peripheral breaks were managed with PPV and silicone oil as endotamponade. Postoperatively, all patients were instructed to assume face up (supine) position for at least 10 days. Silicone oil was removed 3 to 6 months postoperatively in eyes with attached retina and the patients were followed up for 6 months. Results Thirty eyes (94%) got a successful attachment of the retina and remained attached after silicone oil removal. One case showed lower redetachment under silicone oil while the other case showed recurrent RRD after silicone oil removal. Conclusion Although postoperative FUP is not a popular one, it is effective in the treatment of RRD with peripheral breaks whatever the number or the distribution of these breaks. This may in some way or another change the traditional trends of postoperative positioning after vitrectomy for RRD.
