  • Title: A rare case of bilateral tractional retinal detachment following snakebite.
    Author: Thomas NR, Das D, Saurabh K, Roy R.
    Journal: Indian J Ophthalmol; 2017 Nov; 65(11):1238-1240. PubMed ID: 29133665.
    Abstract:
    A 13-year-old female presented with diminution of vision in both eyes for 3 months following snakebite. Best-corrected visual acuities were hand movement in both eyes. Fundoscopy showed vitreous hemorrhage, and B-scan ultrasonography revealed an underlying tractional retinal detachment (TRD) involving the macula in both eyes. Patient underwent 25-gauge pars plana vitrectomy in conjunction with belt buckling, endolaser, and silicone oil tamponade in the left eye. At 6 weeks postoperatively, best-corrected visual acuity of the left eye was noted to be 20/200 with settled TRD and attached retina. Bilateral proliferative retinopathy with TRD is a hitherto unreported complication of snake bite.
