“…This paper highlights an unusual case of occlusive vasculitis of both the retinal arterioles and venules developing within one week after routine cataract surgery. Retinal vasculitis has previously been seen after pars plana vitrectomy for removing retained lens fragments and as an early sign in post‐operative endophthalmitis; however, these were unlikely in this case as the posterior capsule was intact and the eye remained quiet. It is possible the intraocular inflammation may have been masked by use of topical steroids at presentation.…”

“…A retinal vasculitis-like picture has also been described following vitrectomy for retained lens fragment or dropped nucleus, where the authors attributed the clinical findings to the lenticular remnants, triggering focal inflammatory effect on retinal vessels. 9 The only agent common to the cases in our study was the use of silicone oil. Silicone oil polydimethylsiloxane, (PDMS) has been used in vitreoretinal surgeries as a long-term tamponading agent for nearly three decades.…”

“…PFCL and intraocular dyes such as brilliant blue and indocyanine green have been reported to have toxic damage to the retina in various studies. 6 7 8 9 The toxicity has been implicated to their physical properties, as well as the presence of impurities. Interestingly, both the agents were not used in any of the patients during surgery.…”

Purpose: To report a rare retinal manifestation of toxic posterior segment syndrome following vitreoretinal surgery. Methods: In this case series, we report three cases of rhegmatogenous retinal detachment for which pars plana vitrectomy with silicone oil injection was done. All three patients developed an intense anterior chamber reaction along with occlusive vasculitis-like fundus picture. Results: The three patients were started on topical and systemic steroids, and there was a dramatic improvement in vision and clinical signs at postoperative week 1. Conclusion: Toxic posterior segment syndrome is a sight-threatening complication after vitreoretinal surgery, but responds well to topical and systemic steroids.

“…Development of retinal vasculitis post-PPV is rarely reported. Retinal vasculitis, like the picture, has been described in patients undergoing vitrectomy for dropped lens matter 4. It is believed that decreased lens matter can induce focal inflammatory effects on the vessels.…”
