Ultrawide-Field Optical Coherence Tomography in Transvitreal and Subretinal Fibrinoid Syndrome: A Case Report.

ABSTRACT: We report a case of fibrinoid reaction after diabetic vitrectomy surgery. Our case report describes a male patient with severe fibrinoid reaction with both intravitreal fibrin bands and subretinal fibrin and fluid following vitrectomy for diabetic retinopathy. He was managed initially with posterior subtenon and suprachoroidal injection of triamcinolone as well as intravitreal injection of tissue plasminogen activator (TPA). Fluid-air exchange and air-fluid exchange were also performed to remove the fibrin degradation product. 1 millimeter of air tamponade was placed in the vitreous cavity to displace the remaining subretinal fibrin. During this patient's follow-up, the patient's OCT including ultrawide-field OCT showed transvitreal fibrin bands, subretinal fibrin, as well as subretinal fl
