This 20YO female presented with a 2-month history of vision loss in her right eye. Vision was counting fingers.

The macular vessels were dragged temporally with a taut membrane elevating the fovea, as demonstrated on OCT. Fluorescein angiography showed bilateral encircling peripheral ischemia with retinal neovascularization (not shown).

Encircling peripheral scatter laser was performed for her left eye. Pars plana vitrectomy with membrane peeling and intravitreal gas was performed for her right eye.

Two months following surgery, all traction remained relieved, and the retina was completely attached.
