This eye has a total retinal detachment, with numerous foci of fibrotic retina in the inferior hemisphere.
Learning Points:
PVR, or proliferative vitreoretinopathy, consists of fibrotic membranes growing on the retina surface.
It is the primary cause of retinal reattachment surgical failure and occurs in 5-10% of detachments.
