Bilateral retinal detachment following cytomegalovirus retinitis
W. L. Broughton, H. P. Cupples and L. M. Parver
Bilateral retinal detachments developed in a renal allograft patient
several months after the onset of cytomegalovirus retinitis. Laser
photocoagulation was used to limit the posterior extent of one detachment
until the detachment was surgically repaired. The thinned, atrophic retina
that results from the necrotizing retinitis makes localization of retinal
holes difficult and, in this case, contributed to the initial impression
that these detachments were nonrhegmatogenous in origin.
